1. What type of electromagnetic radiation is not created electro-optically?

Light from a fire

Light from a laser

Anything invisible

2. Why aren't glass lenses used in infrared systems?

Glass is too expensive to use

Legal ramifications prevent the use of glass for safety reasons

Most glass is opaque to infrared

3. Why isn't the use of photographic film consider part of electro-optics?

Detection is through chemical reactions and not electrical

It is part of electro-optics with the new digital cameras

Image creation is not part of electro-optics

If you got all three correct, you are on your way to becoming a champion in electro-optics. If you had problems, you had better look over the material again.
