Question 1 12 pts
The original United States Declaration of Independence sets in a case at the
Rotunda for the Charter's of Freedom as part of the National Archives in Washington, D. C.
Since 1952. over one million visitors each year have passed through too snap a
photograph to capture they're experience.
Although signs state. No Flash
Photography, forgetful tourists leave the flash on an a bright light flickers for just a millisecond
This millisecond of light may not seem like enough to effect the precious
orary
document, but suppose how much light could be generated when all those milliseconds are added
up
According to the National Archives administrators, its enough to
significantly damage the historic document.
So now the sign displays quite 5
different message: No Photography
Visitor's continue to travel to see the
Declaration that began are country but no longer can personal pictures serve as mementos,
The administrators compromise they say, is a visit to the gift shop for a
preprinted photograph
