Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 2

Question
What does a charge-coupled device (CCD) do in X-ray imaging?
Answer
  • Create an electrical charge to start emission of X-rays
  • Convert X-rays to light to show an image

  • Between 20Hz and 20,000Hz
  • Greater than 20,000Hz

Question 4

Question
True or false? If an ultrasound transducer is used to measure the length of an eyeball, this is called an I-scan.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 5

Question
Which of these formulae is used to calculate the depth of a boundary using ultrasound?
Answer
  • depth = speed of wave * transit time
  • depth = 2 * speed of wave * transit time
  • depth = 0.5 * speed of wave * transit time

Question 6

Question
True or false? Snell's law states that the sine of the incident angle divided by the sine of the refractive angle is the same for each type of substance (e.g. it is the same in all glass).
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 7

Question
Which way would the light ray refract if it entered a medium with a higher refractive index?
Answer
  • Away from the normal
  • Towards the normal
  • It would not refract

Question 8

Question
When will total internal reflection occur?
Answer
  • When the angle of incidence is less than the critical angle
  • When the angle of incidence is equal to the critical angle
  • When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle

Question 9

Question
True or false? The equation connecting refractive index and critical angle is n = sin c.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Question
True or false? The principal focus of a converging lens is the point from which light rays spread out.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 11

Question
True or false? The formula to calculate magnification is image height/object height.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Answer
  • Virtual
  • Real
  • Diminished
  • Magnified
  • Upright

Question 13

Question
Which of these statements are true about the image formed by a converging lens where the object is between the lens and the principal focus?
Answer
  • Virtual
  • Real
  • Diminished
  • Magnified

Answer
  • Cornea
  • Iris
  • Retina
  • Lens
  • Ciliary muscles
  • Sclera
  • Suspensory ligaments
  • Pupil

Question 16

Question

Answer
  • Cornea
  • Iris
  • Retina
  • Lens
  • Ciliary muscles
  • Suspensory ligaments
  • Sclera
  • Pupil

Question 17

Question
True or false? The range of vision is the distance between the near point and the far point; for the human eye, this is between 25cm and infinity.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 18

Question
What is the unit of power of a lens?
Answer
  • Watt
  • Dioptre
  • Farad

Answer
  • The eyeball is too short
  • The eyeball is too long
  • The lens is too powerful
  • The lens is too weak
  • The image forms in front of the retina
  • The image forms behind the retina
  • A converging lens can correct it
