The variable opening produced by the iris-diaphragm through which light passes to the film plane. Measured in f/stops.
- A.
Aperture
- B.
Exposure
- C.
Focal Length
Correct Answer
A. ApertureExplanation
Aperture refers to the variable opening in the iris-diaphragm that controls the amount of light passing through to the film plane. It is measured in f/stops, which indicates the size of the opening. A larger aperture (smaller f/stop number) allows more light to enter, resulting in a brighter image, while a smaller aperture (larger f/stop number) restricts the amount of light, resulting in a darker image. Aperture also affects depth of field, with a larger aperture creating a shallower depth of field and a smaller aperture creating a greater depth of field.Rate this question:

- C.
Depth of field
Correct Answer
C. Depth of fieldExplanation
Depth of field refers to the range of distance in a photograph that appears acceptably sharp in focus. It is determined by the aperture setting, focal length, and distance between the camera and the subject. When the depth of field is shallow, only a small portion of the image will be in sharp focus, while a larger depth of field will result in more of the image being in focus. Therefore, depth of field is the correct answer to describe the range of acceptably sharp focus in front of and behind the distance the lens is focused on.Rate this question:
