Question 1. The visual sensory term __________ is the action of focusing on targets at various distances such as near-point and far-point.

visual field

accommodation

convergence

adaptation

Question 2. __________ is the measure of a stream of light falling on a surface.

Photometric energy

Contrast

Question 3. Contrast is the difference between the luminance of an object and the luminance of surrounding surfaces.

20%

25%

50%

Question 4. Which of the following is not a technique for controlling direct glare?

Position luminaires as far from the operator's line of sight as is practical.

Use several low-intensity luminaires instead of one bright one.

Use surfaces that diffuse light such as non-gloss paper.

Use light shields and hoods.

Question 5. Table 3.16 in the textbook is the exposure guidelines for acclimated workers provided by NIOSH (1986). Using the table, find the Hourly Work/Rest Cycle for a standard worker in the following environment.Work load:

cornea

retina

nerve sheath

optic nerve

Question 9. Which of the following is not contained in the inner ear of the human?
