Here are answers to the test I edited from another professors's old
mid-term and final, in the order in which the questions appear.
DON'T READ THEM UNTIL YOU'VE TRIED HARD TO FIND ALL THE
ANSWERS ON YOUR OWN! Some items were not covered in our
class at all, remember. Many others require the textbook to
answer them, but they're sections of the text that you have
to read, so that's okay. Finally, don't stop here -- look at the other
exams too (the ones WITHOUT answers posted). Good luck.

fig. 2.38)

6. a (you could get this by memorizing table 5.1, but I'm
not asking you to do that!, or you might just figure that
vision is more sensitive than taste.)

27. c (okay, three things about this question: in our class,
1) you don't need to MEMORIZE fig. 5.39; 2) do NOT refer to
the three cone types as "blue", "green", and "red", as Young
and Helmholtz originally did -- call them instead "short-",
"medium-", and "long-wavelength" cones, respectively, which
not only is the correct modern way to talk about them but is
also the way they are described in fig. 5.39; and 3) IF you
have fig. 5.39 in front of you, you should DEFINITELY be able
to understand and answer this question correctly -- and that
might happen on your exam!)
