Answer

The required shutter speed is $~~\frac{1}{245}~s$

Work Step by Step

We can see the relationship between intensity, shutter speed, and f-number: $I \propto \frac{1}{t} \propto \frac{1}{(f-number)^2}$ Then: $t \propto (f-number)^2$ We can find the required shutter speed $t_2$: $\frac{t_2}{t_1} = \frac{(f-number_2)^2}{(f-number_1)^2}$ $t_2 = \frac{(f-number_2)^2}{(f-number_1)^2}~(t_1)$ $t_2 = \frac{(4.0)^2}{(5.6)^2}~(1/125~s)$ $t_2 = \frac{1}{245}~s$ The required shutter speed is $~~\frac{1}{245}~s$
