A photograph of a landscape is captured by a drone camera at a height of 18 km . The size of the camera film is \(2 \mathrm{~cm} \times 2 \mathrm{~cm}\) and the area of the landscape photographed is \(400 \mathrm{~km}^2\). The focal length of the lens in the drone camera is :
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 1.8 cm
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

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