Correct Answer
B. PrismExplanation
A prism is a device used to refract light and separate it into its different colors. In the context of the given options, a prism is the only item that is related to light and optics. A viewer is a general term and could refer to any type of device used for viewing. A lens is also related to optics, but it is not the best fit as it does not specifically separate light into colors. A shutter is a device used to control the amount of light entering a camera, but it does not separate light. "The hill" is unrelated to optics and does not fit with the other options. Therefore, the correct answer is prism.Rate this question:

- C.
F22 @ 1/60th of a second
- D.
F16 @ 1/25th of a second
- E.
F16 @ 1/30th of a second
Correct Answer
E. F16 @ 1/30th of a secondExplanation
To achieve the desired effect of having both their friends and the background of the park in focus, Natalie and Meredith would need to adjust the aperture and shutter speed settings. A smaller aperture (represented by a higher f-number) such as f16 allows for a larger depth of field, ensuring that both the foreground and background are in focus. A slower shutter speed (1/30th of a second) allows more light to enter the camera, compensating for the smaller aperture. This combination of f16 @ 1/30th of a second would give them the desired effect.Rate this question:
