Answer: a

Tri-stimulus values are the amounts of red, green, and blue needed to form any particular color and they are denoted as X, Y, and Z respectively.

Colors the specified by its trichromatic coefficients x, y & z: =X/(X+Y+Z), y=Y/(X+Y+Z), z=Z/(X+Y+Z).

 

8. What do you mean by tri-stimulus values?

a) It is the amount of red, green, and yellow needed to form any particular color
b) It is the amount of red, green, and indigo needed to form any particular color
c) It is the amount of red, yellow and blue needed to form any particular color
d) It is the amount of red, green, and blue needed to form any particular color

Answer: d

The amounts of red, green, and blue needed to form any particular color are called the tristimulus values and are denoted by X, Y, and Z respectively. Color is then specified by its trichromatic coefficients, whose equations are formed from tri-stimulus values.

 

9. What is the value obtained by the sum of the three trichromatic coefficients?

a) 0
b)-1
c) 1
d) Null

Answer: c

From the equations: x=X/(X+Y+Z), y=Y/(X+Y+Z), and z=Z/(X+Y+Z) it is then noted that some of the coefficients are x+y+z≅1.

 

10. What is the name of an area of the triangle in C. I E chromatic diagram that shows a typical range of colors produced by RGB monitors?

a) Color gamut
b) Tricolor
c) Color game
d) Chromatic colors

Answer: a

The triangle in C.I.E chromatic diagram shows a typical range of colors called the color gamut produced by RGB monitors. The irregular region inside the triangle is representative of the color gamut of today’s high-quality color printing devices.

 

11. Color model is also named as (another name):

a) Color space
b) Color gap
c) Color space & color system

Answer: c

A color model is also called a color space or color system. Its purpose is to facilitate the specification of colors in some standard, generally accepted way.

 

12. What do you mean by the term pixel depth?

a) It is the number of bits used to represent each pixel in RGB space
b) It is the number of bytes used to represent each pixel in RGB space
c) It is the number of units used to represent each pixel in RGB space
d) It is the number of mm used to represent each pixel in RGB space

Answer: a

Images represented in the RGB color model consist of three component images one for each primary color. When fed into an RGB monitor, these three images combine on the phosphor screen to produce a composite color image. The number of bits used to represent each pixel in RGB space is called the pixel depth.
