  4. Hippolyte Bayard


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Thomas Wedgwood, an English chemist and photographer, is credited with taking the first color photograph in 1802. However, his images were not permanent and faded quickly.

What is the name of the process developed by James Clerk Maxwell in 1861 that allowed for the creation of color photographs?

  1. Additive Color Photography

  2. Subtractive Color Photography

  3. Trichromatic Color Photography

  4. Color Separation Photography


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

James Clerk Maxwell's trichromatic color photography process involved using three separate negatives, each sensitive to a different primary color, to create a full-color image.

Which of the following is NOT a type of color film?

  1. Kodachrome

  2. Ektachrome

  3. Kodacolor

  4. Ilfochrome


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ilfochrome is a type of black-and-white photographic paper, not a color film.

What is the name of the process developed by Louis Ducos du Hauron in 1868 that allowed for the creation of color prints?

  1. Additive Color Printing

  2. Subtractive Color Printing

  3. Trichromatic Color Printing

  4. Color Separation Printing


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Louis Ducos du Hauron's subtractive color printing process involved using three separate printing plates, each inked with a different primary color, to create a full-color print.

Which of the following is NOT a pioneer of color photography?

  1. Edwin Land

  2. Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky

  3. Gabriel Lippmann

  4. William Henry Fox Talbot


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

William Henry Fox Talbot is known for his contributions to black-and-white photography, not color photography.

What is the name of the process developed by Edwin Land in 1947 that allowed for the creation of instant color photographs?

  1. Polaroid

  2. Kodachrome

  3. Ektachrome

  4. Kodacolor


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Edwin Land's Polaroid process involved using a special film that developed and produced a finished print within minutes of being exposed.

Which of the following is NOT a type of digital color sensor?

  1. CCD

  2. CMOS

  3. Foveon X3

  4. Bayer Filter


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Bayer Filter is a color filter array used in digital cameras to capture color information.

What is the name of the process developed by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky in the early 1900s that allowed for the creation of color photographs using multiple exposures?

  1. Additive Color Photography

  2. Subtractive Color Photography

  3. Trichromatic Color Photography

  4. Color Separation Photography


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky's color separation photography process involved taking three separate exposures of the same scene, each through a different color filter, and then combining them to create a full-color image.

Which of the following is NOT a pioneer of color photography?

  1. Gabriel Lippmann

  2. Hippolyte Bayard

  3. William Henry Fox Talbot

  4. Louis Ducos du Hauron


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Hippolyte Bayard is known for his contributions to black-and-white photography, not color photography.

What is the name of the process developed by Gabriel Lippmann in 1891 that allowed for the creation of color photographs using interference patterns?

  1. Additive Color Photography

  2. Subtractive Color Photography

  3. Trichromatic Color Photography

  4. Interference Color Photography


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gabriel Lippmann's interference color photography process involved using a special film that recorded the interference patterns created by light waves, which could then be viewed to produce a full-color image.

Which of the following is NOT a type of color space?

  1. RGB

  2. CMYK

  3. HSV

  4. XYZ


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

XYZ is a color space used for representing color in a device-independent manner.

  1. Holography

  2. Laser Color Photography

  3. Laser Interference Color Photography

  4. Laser Trichromatic Color Photography


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Laser color photography involves using lasers to create color images by selectively exposing different parts of a photographic film or sensor to different colors of light.

Which of the following is NOT a pioneer of color photography?

  1. Edwin Land

  2. Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky

  3. Gabriel Lippmann

  4. Thomas Wedgwood


Correct Option: D
