Answer:Therefore, the film in a camera must be placed at a distance of 0.0358m, 3.58cm 0r 38.5mm depending on the unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have that,

Focal length of the lens, f = +35 mm = 35/ 1000 = 0.035m

The Object distance of the flower, u = 1.50m

The image distance, v = ?

. Using lens formula as, we have that

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

where f= the focal length

u =the object distance

v=image distance

1/ 0.035 = 1/1.50 +1/v

1/v = 1/0.035- 1/1.50

=28.57- 0.667

=27.903

1/v= 27.903

v = 1/27.903

v= 0.0358 m

Therefore, the film in a camera must be placed at a distance of 0.0358m
