Given values:\textbf{Given values:}

fnumber=5.6f-number=5.6

Δt=1125s\Delta t=\dfrac{1}{125} \: \text{s}

We know IΔtI \Delta t should be same:

I=1(fnumber)21125(5.6)2=Δt(4)2Δt=16(5.6)2×1125Δt=0.510125Δt=0.00408s\begin{align*} I&=\frac{1}{(f-number)^2}\\ \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{125}}{(5.6)^2}&=\frac{\Delta t}{(4)^2}\\ \Delta t&=\frac{16}{(5.6)^2} \times \frac{1}{125}\\ \Delta t&=\frac{0.510}{125}\\ \Delta t&=0.00408 \: \text{s}\\ \end{align*}
