Question

I am having a very difficult time visualizing this question:

When you focus a camera, you adjust the distance between the lens and the light sensor so a real image is formed on the sensor. In order to take a focused picture, as you get farther away from your photo subject (e.g., a flower), how must the distance between the lens and sensor be changed? Choose one answer only.

a. lens-sensor distance must be increased

b. lens-sensor distance needs to stay the same

c. lens-sensor distance must be made smaller

d. any of these could be correct...it depends on the camera.

Explanation / Answer

lens-sensor distance must be made smaller

Because, This is done because the distance between the object and lens will be lesser in this case and a sharp image will be formed.
