A thin lens has focal length f, and its aperture has diameter d. It forms an image of intensity I. Now, the central part of the aperture up to diameter d/2 is blocked by an opaque paper The image intensity will change toChoose the correct answer:a.f/2 and I/2b.f and I/4c.3f /4 and I/2d.f and 3I/4

Focal length will remains same.

Intensity is directly proportional to the area of the aperture of the lens receiving the light.

Total area of the aperture is,

A = pi * d²/4

Remaining area after covering,

A' = pi *(d²/4 - d²/16) = 3 * pi* d²/16

I/I' = A/A' = 4/3

I' = 3 I/4

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

A = pi * d²/4
Remaining area after covering,
A' = pi *(d²/4 - d²/16) = 3 * pi* d²/16
I/I' = A/A' = 4/3
I' = 3 I/4

Thanks and Regards
