    B.

     The scale of the aerial photograph depends upon the scale of the topography

    C.

     The feature at the principal point has no height displacement

    D.

     All of the above


  3. Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  4. A.

     Frequency is the number of wave crests passing a fixed point in one second

    B.

     Frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz (Hz)

    C.

     Amplitude of a wave is the height of its crust from the mid-point

    D.

     All of these


  5. Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  6. A.

     In remote sensing technique, the observation place, is called a platform

    B.

     Platforms may be either stationary or mobile

    C.

     Spatial resolution of the imaging system becomes poorer with increase of platform height
