makes light by heating a metal filament wire to a high temperature until it glows
- A.
Incandescent light bulbs
- B.
Household light bulbs
- C.
Fluorescent light bulbs
- D.
Flood light bulbs
Correct Answer
A. Incandescent light bulbsExplanation
Incandescent light bulbs produce light by passing an electric current through a metal filament wire, typically made of tungsten, which is heated to a high temperature until it glows. This process is called incandescence. As the filament wire heats up, it emits visible light. Incandescent light bulbs have been widely used in households for many years but are gradually being replaced by more energy-efficient alternatives due to their high energy consumption and shorter lifespan.Rate this question:

- B.
Footcandle
- C.
Lumens
- D.
Wyatt
Correct Answer
C. LumensExplanation
Lumens is the correct answer because it is a unit of measurement used to quantify the total amount of visible light emitted by a light source or received by a surface. It represents the brightness or intensity of the light and is commonly used when comparing different light bulbs or lighting fixtures. The higher the number of lumens, the brighter the light. In this context, lumens can be used to measure the total amount of visible light on a subject or surface.Rate this question:

A flood light is used in three point lighting to fill in the shadows.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
In three point lighting, a flood light is not used to fill in the shadows. Instead, a fill light is used for this purpose. A flood light is typically used as a broad and intense light source that evenly illuminates a large area, whereas a fill light is used to reduce the contrast between the key light and the shadows, filling in the darker areas without overpowering the main light source. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

If I wanted to change the color of a light, I would use a
- A.
ND Filter
- B.
V-Light
- C.
Gel
- D.
Incandescent soft light
Correct Answer
C. GelExplanation
A gel is a transparent colored material that is used to change the color of light. It is commonly used in photography and stage lighting to create different lighting effects or to match the color temperature of different light sources. By placing a gel in front of a light source, the light passing through the gel takes on the color of the gel, allowing for creative control over the lighting. Therefore, if someone wanted to change the color of a light, they would use a gel.Rate this question:

A spot light is the exact opposite of a flood light
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A spot light and a flood light are two types of lighting fixtures that produce different lighting effects. A spot light is designed to concentrate light in a narrow beam, illuminating a specific area or object with high intensity. On the other hand, a flood light is designed to spread light over a wide area, providing general illumination with a softer light. Therefore, a spot light and a flood light are indeed opposite in terms of their lighting characteristics.Rate this question:

A Neutral Density (ND) Filter does the following:
- A.
Changes the color of light entering the camera
- B.
Reduces the amount of light entering the camera
- C.
Changes incandescent light to outdoor light
- D.
Changes incandescent light to outdoor light
Correct Answer
B. Reduces the amount of light entering the cameraExplanation
A Neutral Density (ND) Filter is used in photography to reduce the amount of light entering the camera. It does not change the color of light or convert incandescent light to outdoor light. The purpose of using an ND filter is to allow the photographer to use longer exposures or wider apertures in bright conditions, without overexposing the image. By reducing the amount of light, it helps to balance the exposure and achieve the desired effect.Rate this question:

What piece of lighting equipment can direct and prevent light from projecting onto the subject or area.
Correct Answer
barndoors
barn door
barn doorsExplanation
Barndoors, also known as barn doors, are a type of lighting equipment that can be attached to a light source, such as a spotlight or a studio light. They consist of adjustable flaps or doors that can be moved to control the direction and intensity of the light beam. By adjusting the position of the barn doors, the light can be directed precisely onto the desired subject or area while preventing it from spilling onto unwanted areas. This allows for greater control over the lighting setup and helps to create the desired lighting effects in photography or film production.Rate this question:

Light is measured in foot candles.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Light is indeed measured in foot candles. Foot candles is a unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of light that falls on a surface. It is defined as the illuminance produced by one lumen of light evenly distributed over an area of one square foot. This unit is commonly used in various fields such as architecture, photography, and lighting design to ensure appropriate lighting levels in different environments. Therefore, the statement "Light is measured in foot candles" is correct.Rate this question:

When using a standard 3 point lighting set-up, the Key light is half the intensity of the Fill and the back light.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
In a standard 3 point lighting set-up, the Key light is actually the main light source and is typically the strongest light. It is used to illuminate the subject and create shadows. The Fill light is used to fill in the shadows created by the Key light and is usually set at a lower intensity than the Key light. The back light, also known as the rim or hair light, is used to separate the subject from the background and is typically set at a similar intensity to the Key light. Therefore, the statement that the Key light is half the intensity of the Fill and the back light is false.Rate this question:
