Multiple choice

Under which of the following conditions would you NOT consider a given pair of aerial photographs as a stereopair?

  1. No overlap
  2. 25% overlap
  3. 60% overlap
  4. 100% overlap Select the correct answer using the code given below:

  1. 1 and 2

  2. 1 and 3

  3. 1 and 4

  4. 2 and 4

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A stereopair requires an overlap (usually 60%) to create a 3D effect. No overlap (1) prevents stereoscopic viewing, and 100% overlap (4) is impossible for a pair as it would be the same image.

Multiple choice chemistry chemistry in everyday life common salt some useful compounds in everyday life salts and their properties

What is used in photography for developing films?

  1. Silver nitrate

  2. Silver bromide

  3. Silver iodide

  4. Silver chloride
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B,D Correct answer
Explanation

Light sensitive compounds are used in photography for developing films. Halides of silver like silver chloride and silver bromide shows such kinds of properties therefore used in photography.

Which of the following is not a part of HST?

  1. Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS).

  2. Faint Object Camera (FOC)

  3. Computer-controlled polishing machines

  4. Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS).
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Computer-controlled polishiing machines is not a part of HST. This is used mostly in fabrication purposes. In fabrication process automation techniques like computer-controlled polishing is used to achieve high level of fabrication.

Multiple choice types of sentences sentences english

Identify the type of sentence given below:
I prefer taking a single good photo rather than taking multiple shots.

  1. Simple Sentence

  2. Complex Sentence

  3. Compound Sentence

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A simple sentence is made up of only one clause, with one subject and one verb. The given sentence contains one subject "I" and one verb "prefer", "taking a single good photo... ." is a gerund phrase that functions as the object. Hence it is a simple sentence and option A is correct. A complex sentence requires at least one dependent and one independent clause. Similarly, a compound sentence requires two independent clauses. Since the given sentence contains one clause, options B and C are incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.
Note: 'Rather than' when followed by a gerund (verb + ing), functions as a preposition. When followed by an infinitive (to + verb) it functions as a conjunction.

Multiple choice

Which sensor size is largest?

  1. 35mm Full Frame

  2. 1"

  3. micro 4/3

  4. APS-C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A 35mm Full Frame sensor is physically larger than APS-C, Micro 4/3, and 1-inch sensors, allowing for better light gathering and depth of field control.

Multiple choice

Which shutter speed will freeze motion?

  1. 1/4

  2. 1/100

  3. 1/250

  4. 1/4000
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A fast shutter speed (like 1/4000) exposes the sensor for a very short duration, which effectively freezes fast-moving subjects.

Multiple choice

What is the typical maximum shutter sync speed?

  1. 1/1250

  2. 1/10

  3. 1/200

  4. 2"
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The flash sync speed is the fastest shutter speed at which the camera can fully expose the sensor while the flash is firing. For most cameras, this is around 1/200 or 1/250.

Multiple choice physics electromagnetic waves properties and uses of different radiation electromagnetic spectrum spectrum

Name the rays or waves used for taking photographs in dark.

  1. Infrared rays

  2. Ultraviolet rays

  3. X-rays

  4. Gamma rays
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Photographers use film that is sensitive to infrared rays to take pictures in places where there is no visible light. 
IR light is longer in wavelength than visible light and focuses differently. Regular photographic lenses are made for visible light photography without any regard to what happens when photographing out of band light like IR. Therefore each lens design and focal length, even each focal length within a zoom lens will focus IR light differently.
Hence, infrared light is used for taking pictures in the dark.

  4. Medium Format
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Point-and-shoot cameras are designed to be compact and user-friendly, making them ideal for casual photographers and beginners.
