Answer

(a) $8.5$ (b) $2.4$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the f-number as $f-number=\frac{f}{D}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f-number=\frac{17}{2.0}=8.5$ (b) The f-number in dim light can be determined as $f-number=\frac{f}{D}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f-number=\frac{17}{7.0}=2.4$
