What does the equation Q= h v, define?

Whose equation describes the amount of optical radiation reflected by a surface:

What optical phenomena are used to control optical radiation in lighting?

Approximately how many photoreceptors does each eye contain?

In what state of vision is there no perception of color?

In what state of vision is reaction times used in lieu of standard methods of brightness matching?

In what state of vision is the visual response dominated by the cone photoreceptors?

Why is abnormal color vision more prominent in males versus females?

What is the process the visual system utilizes to change its sensitivity to accommodate the retinal illumination from the potential exposure to 0.01lx to 100,000 lx?

What is the wavelength region that visible radiation occupies that is bounded by UV and IR?

What optical radiation characteristics affect the magnitude of the phase- resetting response in circadian rhythm: A: Quantity B: Spectrum C: Timing D: Duration E: Pattern F: Prior Optical Radiation Exposure

What has been found to effectively reduce symptoms of SAD in many patients?

What determines the amount of light entering the eye? A: Pupil Size B: Time C: Luminances of the object being viewed

Which of the following are factors affecting brightness: A: Object Luminance B: Visual Size C: Spatial Frequency D: Surround Luminace

How does glare occur?

What is defined by a sensation of annoyance or pain caused by high luminances in the field of view?

What is defined by reduced visibility due to light scattered in the eye, reducing the luminance contrast of the retinal image?
