Tinker bell makes an astronomical telescope using two lenses of focal lengths +50 cm and + 10 cm.

 

1. The separation between the two lenses should be

 

          (a) 70 cm

          *(b) 60 cm

          (c) 50 cm

          (d) 40 cm

          (e) 30 cm

 

2. The magnitude of the magnification will be

 

          (a) 5 and the image is erect

          *(b) 5 and the image is inverted

          (c) 4 and the image is erect

          (d) 4 and the image is inverted

          (e) 6 and the image is erect

 

3. A field lens is used

 

          *(a) to bend rays from an intermediate real image so that they strike a subsequent lens and brighten the final image

          (b) to bend rays from an intermediate real image so that they do not strike a subsequent lens and blur the final image

          (c) to provide additional magnification

          (d) to correct for chromatic aberration

          (e) to make it easier to focus on an object

 

4.  A completely saturated light beam

         

          (a) is composed of all colors in equal proportion

          (b) is very bright

*(c) is composed of only one color

          (d) is very dim

          (e) appears white

 

5. A monochromatic light beam

 

          *(a) is completely saturated

          (b) is completely unsaturated

          (c) is very bright

          (d) is very dim

          (e) appears white

 

6.  A pair of colors are complementary if

 

          (a) they can be combined to make any primary color

          (b) they can be combined to make any other color

          (c) they can never be combined to make white

*(d) they can be combined to make white

          (e) they can be combined to make any unsaturated color

 

7.  The three primary colors red, green and blue

 

          (a) can match any other color

          (b) can only match colors that are completely saturated

          *(c) can only match colors that are not completely saturated

          (d) can match any other color except purple

          (e) would not be as useful as a primary set of red, blue and yellow

 

8.  Combinations of only red and blue

         

          (a) produce colors that are complementary to yellow

          (b) produce colors that are complementary to orange

          (c) produce light beams that have no well defined color

          (d) produce light beams that have very low intensity

*(e) produce colors that have no corresponding wavelength

 

9.  The tri-stimulus values are

 

          (a) the amounts of red, green and blue needed to match any color

          (b) the amounts of yellow, cyan and magenta needed to match any color

          (c) the hue, saturation, and intensity of any light beam

*(d) the amounts of three specific imaginary primary colors needed to match any color

          (e) the amounts of red, green and blue needed to match a specific standard white color

 

10. The saturation of a color specifies

 

          (a) its wavelength

          (b) its brightness as perceived by eyes

          *(c) the width of the plot of its intensity as a function of wavelength

          (d) the amount of black ink needed to print the color

          (e) the amount of magenta in the color

 

11.  The 3 subtractive primaries are

         

          (a) red, blue and green

          (b) black, red and blue

          (c) red, orange and green

          (d) white, blue and yellow

*(e) cyan, magenta and yellow

 

12.  Using the 3 subtractive primaries, we can

 

          (a) form any completely saturated color

          (b) form any color except saturated red

          (c) form any color except saturated blue

*(d) form most colors that are not too saturated

          (e) form any color except saturated green
