Question
PROBLEM 1: An aerial with forward motion camera compensation and a 6-inch focal length is carried in an airplane travelling at 124.30 miles per hour. The flying height above the average terrain is 11485 feet and exposure time is 1/500 seconds. a) Calculate the distance (in meters) travelled by the airplane during the exposure period. b) Calculate the average scale of a photography above terrain. c) Calculate the distance, in microns, that the film must be move across the focal plane during exposure in order to obtain a clear image.
