Q: What is the SI unit of luminous intensity?

Candela (cd) — Candela measures the amount of light emitted in a specific direction.

Q: Which of the following is NOT a primary color of light?

Yellow — Yellow is a secondary color, created by mixing red and green light.

Q: What does 'lux' measure?

Illuminance — Lux measures the amount of light falling on a surface per unit area.

Q: Which of the following light sources is generally the most energy efficient?

LED — LEDs convert a high percentage of energy to light with minimal heat waste.

Q: What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

3 x 10^8 m/s — The speed of light is a fundamental constant in physics.

Q: Which term describes the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another?

Refraction — Refraction is caused by the change in the speed of light.

Q: What is luminous flux measured in?

Lumen — Lumen measures the total amount of visible light emitted by a source.

Q: What is the phenomenon where light waves spread out after passing through a narrow slit or around an obstacle?

Diffraction — Diffraction is a characteristic of wave behavior.

Q: Which type of electromagnetic radiation is just beyond the visible red spectrum?

Infrared — Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light.

Q: What is the color of the sun's light?

White — The sun emits all colors of light, which combine to create white light.
