WOW!

I was expecting to fail miserably but did OK.
Section 1 - 7/10 (though I would dispute one answer)
Section 2 - 8/10

I did study some Optical subjects as part of a B(Tech) a long time ago and more of that has stuck than I realised. Then other questions were just maths problems once the jargon was removed.

The answer I would dispute is Section 1 #3 ( There would be an exception if the surface illuminated had flourecence, which has the effect of reflecting a differert wavelength to the source light. This is seen commonly with source light in the UV spectrum being reflected in the visible spectrum.

ok
I didn't understand the questions!!!

so my answers would be pretty much at the failure end of things

It's kind of a weird mix between some sort of pixel peepers/measurebaters wet dream and an optics course. None of it actually has anything to do with actual photography. Y'know, actually taking pictures. It'd be great for winning those endless tedious arguments on the interwebs though. blah blah bokeh blah blah diffraction blah blah I HAVE A DEGREE IN THIS !

Yeah, but how do you really feel?

Almost instantly removes any desire to study photography

I'm hoping if this is really part of a photography degree, that it's only a teensy bit of it..

It has little to do with the Art of photography and more to do with the technical envelope in which it operates. These aspects are handy to know and understand, but more in the back of the mind.

Do they have it in english?

Hah, I have you know that I can point a camera (sometimes in the right direction) and press a thing known only to geniuses called the shutter release button. Now, none of that fuddy non zero light reflective stuff for me i'll have ya know. Jezzzzzzzzz.....

When you can't actually teach something, teach something somehow related to it and hope people pay you lots of money for it
