1,505 Questions

Understanding photography techniques requires knowledge of the exposure triangle, which includes aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Key concepts also involve depth of field, high dynamic range imaging, and equipment differences. These questions are useful for visual arts, journalism, and hobbyist certification assessments.

Photography Techniques and Settings Questions

Multiple choice technology platforms and products
  1. Deep Zoom uses multi-resolution images to achieve a high frame-rate and fast open experience for images

  2. On the initial load, Deep Zoom takes a bit more time to load image data for large images

  3. Deep Zoom uses spring animations, which gives users the impression of a smooth movement (pan or zoom) around image

  4. A Deep Zoom image is typically composed of 256x256 size tiles of JPEG or PNG images at different resolutions that make up an image pyramid

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

Deep Zoom in Silverlight uses multi-resolution image pyramids (256x256 tiles) for performance, enabling fast initial load and smooth animations. Statement B claims Deep Zoom takes more time to load initially for large images, which contradicts the core purpose of Deep Zoom - it's specifically designed to load quickly by only loading necessary tiles at the current zoom level, not the entire large image.

Multiple choice
  1. the amount of light

  2. distance of the lens from the screen

  3. distance of the lens from the object

  4. the speed of the shutter

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

In a camera, focusing adjusts the lens-to-sensor distance to satisfy the lens equation 1/f = 1/u + 1/v. The lens must be positioned so that the image forms precisely on the sensor/film. Moving the lens changes the image distance to achieve sharp focus at different object distances.

Multiple choice
  1. Bandwidth

  2. Screen size

  3. Raster scan rate

  4. Vertical & horizontal lines of resolution

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

Resolution is determined by the number of pixels or lines a display can render, which is influenced by bandwidth and scan rates. Screen size refers to physical dimensions and does not inherently dictate the resolution.

Multiple choice
  1. Image in the pinhole camera is always smaller than the object.

  2. Image in the pinhole camera is always inverted.

  3. All colours are seen in the image in a pinhole camera.

  4. Image in a pinhole camera is not misleading.

  5. Image in a pinhole camera is a dark outline formed behind an opaque body.

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

This is the correct option. Image in a pinhole camera shows all details of an object.

What is "Camera Obscura" effect ?

  1. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and gets reflected from the mirror placed at the other end of the box.

  2. Light from a scene passes from one medium to another and gets refracted

  3. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and passes through a lens placed on the opposite side of the box

  4. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box

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

A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture, a pinhole – effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which is known as the camera obscura effect.

Multiple choice physics light, shadows and images formation of image by a pinhole camera pinhole camera shadow

Choose the correct option from the following 

$ Statement I:$ If the size of the hole in a pinhole camera is as big as the size of a green gram then the image becomes thick and the details of the image are not clearly seen. 

$Statement II:$ If the distance of the object from pinhole camera is increased then the size of the image that is observed on the screen also increases.

$Statement III :$ If the distance between screen and hole in the pinhole camera is increasing we observe the image is becoming blurred 

  1. All are correct

  2. $I, II$ are correct
  3. $II, III$ are correct
  4. $I, III $are correct
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

All statements are correct: a large hole causes blurring (Statement I), increasing object distance decreases image size (Statement II), and increasing screen distance makes the image larger but dimmer/blurred (Statement III).

State the effect on the image formed by a pinhole camera if the size of the hole is increased.

  1. The image becomes blurred

  2. The image gets sharper

  3. The image completely vanishes

  4. No image is formed to begin with

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

If the size of the hole increases the image will be blurred as several 
images are formed which overlap each other

Multiple choice maths enlargement and scale drawing dilation enlargement similarity as a size transformation mapping mapping space around us bearing and drawings

If the image of an object is enlarged, then what would be the effect on scale factor, $k?$

  1. $k$ will remain same for both.
  2. $k>1$ for enlarged image.
  3. $k<1$ for enlarged image.
  4. none of the above

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


If image is enlarged, $k>1.$
If image size does not change, then $k=1.$
If image size is reduced, $k<1.$
