checks, laundry marks, and civilian of personal fingerprint. _____________________
2. The founder of electromagnetic spectrum and who researched on colors. _____________________
3. The earliest known form of camera, Camera OBSCURA, was described by? _____________________
4. Generally known as the birth year of photography. _____________________
5. He introduce the Polaroid Camera- a one-step photography. _____________________
6. The deflection or bouncing back of light when it hits a surface. _____________________
7. The ability of an object to convert one wavelength to another as long as the active energy source is
irradiating the object. _____________________
8. The wavelength of X-ray. _____________________
9. When all the wavelengths between 400-700 nanometers are presented to the eye in nearly equal
quantity, we get the sensation or perception of? _____________________
10. The number of waves passing in a given point in one second. _____________________
11. The result of red and blue when combined is? _____________________

17. The bouncing back of light upon hitting an object or materials. _____________________
18. It allows light to pass through so that objects on the other side can be seen or distinguished.
_____________________
19. The taking in of light in a medium following the law of conversion of light to energy, such light taken in is
not lost but merely transformed into heat. _____________________
20. The distance measured from the crest (highest point) to the wave of the next succeeding crest.
_____________________
 21. The wavelength of visible light. _____________________

24. It allows no light to pass through. _____________________
25. A luminescence when the object does not only converts the wavelength while being irradiated but
continuously reflect the new wavelengths for a period of time after the energy source is removed.

31. The process forming an image by the use of paper impregnated with light sensitive
compounds._______________
