Question 1

A stock solution is:&#10;A)Weaker in strength than a working solution.&#10;B)Stronger in strength than a working solution.&#10;C)Only used in color chemistry.&#10;D)Only used in black-and-white chemistry.

Accepted Answer

A stock solution is a highly concentrated solution that is used to prepare more dilute solutions. Therefore, it is stronger in strength than the working solution.

Question 2

When dealing with print film:&#10;A)Expose for the shadows, develop for the highlights.&#10;B)Expose for the highlights, develop for the shadows.&#10;C)Always underexpose all kinds of film.&#10;D)Always overexpose all kinds of film.

Accepted Answer

Print film has a limited dynamic range, meaning it can only capture a certain range of tones between the brightest highlights and darkest shadows. Therefore, it is important to expose for the shadows to ensure they have enough detail, and then develop for the highlights to prevent them from becoming overexposed and losing detail. This technique is known as "Expose for the shadows, develop for the highlights."

Question 3

Most midtones of an image fall onto what portion of a film's characteristic curve?&#10;A)Toe&#10;B)Shoulder&#10;C)Slope&#10;D)Midpoint

Accepted Answer

The midtones of an image typically fall onto the straight-line portion of a film's characteristic curve, which is referred to as the slope. This part of the curve represents the area where the film responds most linearly to changes in exposure, allowing for accurate reproduction of the midrange tones.

Question 4

True or false: It is permissible to keep a safelight on while you transfer exposed film from a film reel to a developing reel.

Accepted Answer

It is not permissible to keep a safelight on while transferring exposed film as it can cause fogging of the film.

Question 5

Blown-out is lack of separation in the:&#10;A)Shadow tones.&#10;B)Overall image.&#10;C)Midtones of the image.&#10;D)Highlights of the image.

Accepted Answer

Blown-out refers to the highlights of the image being overexposed and lacking detail.

Question 6

What is the complementary (opposite) color of blue light?&#10;A)Cyan&#10;B)Magenta&#10;C)Yellow&#10;D)Black

Accepted Answer

Yellow is the complementary color of blue when dealing with light. In the RGB color model, blue and yellow light combine to produce white light, indicating they are complementary colors.

Question 7

What does &#34;exposure latitude&#34; mean?&#10;A)The ability for film to stretch in a camera to create panoramic images&#10;B)The ability to use film in hot or cold conditions&#10;C)A measure of the forgiveness of film subjected to overexposure or underexposure to still produce a relatively good print&#10;D)A camera function that automatically brackets three exposures

Accepted Answer

Exposure latitude refers to a measure of the forgiveness of film or digital sensors subjected to overexposure or underexposure to still produce a relatively good print or image. It can vary depending on the type of film or sensor being used.

Question 8

In black-and-white film development, the restrainer:&#10;A)Turns all silver halide into metallic silver.&#10;B)Removes all of the silver from the film emulsion.&#10;C)Prevents all but 10% of the silver halide from turning to metallic silver.&#10;D)Prevents the developing agents from affecting silver halide crystals that haven't been exposed to very much light.

Accepted Answer

The restrainer in black-and-white film development is used to control the action of the developer on the silver halide crystals. It specifically prevents the developing agents from affecting those silver halide crystals that haven't been exposed to much light, ensuring that only the exposed areas (which have been hit by light and thus have a latent image) are developed into metallic silver. This helps in maintaining image contrast and detail.

Question 9

What are the two major categories of black-and-white negative film?&#10;A)Black-and-white negative film and black-and-white chromogenic film&#10;B)Slide film and transparency film&#10;C)Black-and-white slide film and color slide film&#10;D)Black-and-white chromogenic film and black-and-white dye film

Accepted Answer

Black-and-white negative film can be divided into two major categories: traditional black-and-white negative film and black-and-white chromogenic film. Traditional black-and-white negative films typically use silver halides to create the image, while black-and-white chromogenic films use dyes and a color development process to produce the final result. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. The other options do not accurately reflect the categories of black-and-white negative film.

Question 10

Color slide film frequently requires:&#10;A)Black-and-white chemistry plus food coloring.&#10;B)C-41 processing chemistry.&#10;C)E-6 processing chemistry.&#10;D)A combination of black-and-white and C-41 chemistry.

Accepted Answer

Color slide film is commonly processed using E-6 chemistry, which is specifically formulated for developing positive, transparent images on slide film. Black-and-white and C-41 chemistry are not suitable for developing color slide film. Using food coloring would not produce accurate or consistent results.
