Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This is a type of light used in photography. It makes a fast moving object seem immobile. What is this specialized light called?

Answer: strobe

Also known as stroboscope, this is a device that uses a flashtube for high-speed illumination (as in photography).

Answer: buses

Communication within the computer occurs while programming instructions are being sent and received simultaneously. Each wire carries one bit, so the bus can transmit more informations along the cable at the same time. For example, a 16-bit bus, with 16 parallel wires, allows the simultaneous transmission of 16 bits or 2 bytes of information from one component to another.

3. Mona Lisa is one of the world's greatest paintings. It was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. What two techniques is believed to be used in this undying art?

Answer: sfumato and chiaroscuro

Sfumato meaning the gradual blending of one area of color into another without a sharp outline which literally means "to tone down" or "to smoke out". Chiaroscuro, the use of light and shade in paintings and drawings, or the effect produced by this (also called claire-obscure) which literally means bright dark, this painting became one of the most imitated painting seen in all of the world.

4. Once known as the food of the Gods in India, this food is also known in other places as jajik and raita. What is this?

Answer: yogurt

It has been regarded as a cure for insomnia, a wrinkle remover, a medicine, and even a fountain of youth. Today yogurt (also spelled yoghurt and yoghourt) manufacturers often tout their product as a nutritional, low-calorie health food.

Hypatia, a follower of Plato, wrote commentaries on mathematical and astronomical topics and is regarded today as the first female astronomer and mathematician.

Answer: Sunday; June 14, 1942

Anne Frank's diary begins on Sunday, June 14, 1942, during World War II. At this time, thirteen-year-old Anne and her family live in Amsterdam, where she attends the Montessori School. As the Nazis march into Holland, they force Jews to wear identifying badges displaying the Star of David.

8. What do you call the study on how words are formed?

Answer: Morphology

Phonology is the study of speech sound. Semantics is the study of words and their meanings in sentences. Phonemes are the smallest phonetic unit.

9. What do you call an object moving at least five times the speed of sound?

Answer: hypersonic

Ultrasonic is used to describe sound waves that have frequencies above the upper limit of the normal range of human hearing, which is about 20 kilohertz. Sonic boom is a noise heard as a loud boom at ground level resulting from the shock waves created by an aircraft flying above the speed of sound.

While supersonic are those moving faster than the speed of sound. Thus, all hypersonic activities are also supersonic.

Answer: We
