To solve the problem of determining the time of exposure required to obtain a good photographic print at a distance of 40 cm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between intensity and distance The intensity of light (I) from a point source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (d) from the source. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ I \propto \frac{1}{d^2} \] ### Step 2: Determine the initial conditions We are given that: ...
