Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1.8 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\mathrm{H}=18 \mathrm{~km}\)
Size of camera film \(=2 \mathrm{~cm} \times 2 \mathrm{~cm}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& A_{\text {image }}=400 \mathrm{~km}^2 \\
& x=20 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~m}=2 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~m} \\
& y=2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} \\
& \frac{x}{y}=10^6=\frac{18 \mathrm{Km}}{\mathrm{f}} \\
& \mathrm{f}=18 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}=18 \mathrm{~mm} \\
& \mathrm{f}=1.8 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}\)
