Question

What would happen if you turned up the exposure factors on 2 shapes of plater (both the same shape but ones smaller than the other)

A. The larger plater would be overexposed, while the smaller plater would be underexposed.

B. The smaller plater would be overexposed, while the larger plater would be underexposed.

C. Both platers would be equally exposed.

D. The exposure would depend on the type of plater and the exposure factors.

Answer 1

Increasing the exposure factors for two objects of different sizes will likely expose both more, but not necessarily equally, due to differences in their size and absorption properties; hence, the exposure would depend on the specifics of the objects and the exposure settings.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the exposure factors of two similarly shaped objects—one larger and one smaller—are increased, the amount of radiation the film (or sensor in digital cameras) is subjected to will increase. However, because both objects are subject to the same increase in exposure factors, they will both be more exposed, but not necessarily equally. The difference in size can mean that the smaller object might become overexposed faster than the larger one, as it may require a lesser amount of exposure to reach a proper level of exposure. Therefore, the correct answer is option D - The exposure would depend on the type of plater and the exposure factors. This takes into account factors such as material density and size which can affect how radiation is absorbed and thus how the film or sensor reacts.
