Answer

$\frac{1}{1000}s$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required shutter speed as follows: $shutter \space speed=\frac{1}{E(f-number)}$...........eq(1) We know that $f-number=\frac{f}{D}$ $\implies f-number=\frac{f}{\frac{f}{8}}=8$ Now we plug in the known values in eq(1) to obtain: $shutter\space speed=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{125}s^{-1})(8)}=\frac{1}{1000}s$
