Hi Vishesh,
The exposure time for a particular print from a 40 Cd lamp is 20 sec at 2 feet.
Now, the lamp is changed and the distance is also changed.
The intensity of new lamp is reduced to half and the distance is doubled.
We know that intensity is inversely proportional to square of the distance.
Hence, if intensity is halved and distance is doubled, then we have
Hence, the exposure to get the same print has to be 8 times, i.e. 20 × 8 = 160 sec = 2 min 40 secs.
