Civil Engineering :: Elements of Remote Sensing

  1.  

    Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  2. A.

    Phase of a wave is expressed as a fraction of a period with respect to a refrence

    B.

    Phase is usually specified by angular measure with one period being 360°

    C.

    The reference for finding the phase of a wave is taken from the previous passage through zero from the negative to the positive direction.

    D.

    All of these


  3.  

    A and B are two towers of equal height diametrically opposite on either side of the nadir point, at 3 km and 5 km distances. Which one of the following statements is correct?

  4. A.

    Height displacement of A will be less than that of B

    B.

    Height displacement of B will be less than that of A

    C.

    Height displacement of A and B is equal

    D.

    Height displacement of A and B will be towards each other
