Light bulb Lightning bolt Cloud Sun None 11. Why are flat diffusers used on a meter? To measure the light coming from multiple light sources simultaneously To make comparative measurements of light coming from specific directions To measure the light reflecting off the subject To make comparative measurements of light reflecting off the subject from multiple directions None 12. If you move the f-stop from F5.6 to F8, what happens to the amount of light that reaches the sensor? B. It is doubled A. It is halved C. Stays the same D. It over-exposes None 13. What three exposure elements does a light meter consider? contrast, color harmony and tonal range highlights, shadows and mid tones ISO, aperture setting and shutter speed ISO, camera mode and shutter speed None 14. What are “equivalent exposures”? Exposures where the shutter speed stays the same and only the f-stop changes Exposures where the f-stop stays the same and only the shutter speed changes Exposures equal to the ISO Exposures that yield the same amount of light onto the sensor None 15.

To increase the depth of field To use a slower shutter speed To allow less light to reach the sensor To decrease the depth of field None 22. What type of meter allows accurate reflective readings from a distance by isolating a tiny portion of a scene to be measured? Incident meter An ambient light meter A flat disk meter Spot meter None 23. Reflective hand-held meters measure light reflecting off the subject. falling on the subject. falling on the camera. bouncing off the camera. None 24. After exposure, a histogram shows pixels only towards the left side of the graph with the highest point at the extreme left. Which of the following would this histogram indicate? Low contrast Overexposure Underexposure High contrast None 25. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F11 @ 125 F5.6 @ 125 F16 @ 125 F8 @ 125 None 26. If you move the f-stop from F5.6 to F8, what happens to the amount of light that reaches the sensor? It is halved Stays the same It over-exposes It is doubled None 27. Which line has the shutter speeds in the correct order? 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 1000 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 None 28.
