5.13.1. Based on the source of illumination

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is a passive sensor?

   Hint

   Think about how it captures data from sunlight.

2. 2.

   Can passive sensors work at night?

   Hint

   Remember that they depend on external illumination.

3. 3.

   What kind of sensor relies on sunlight for operation?

   • Active Sensor
   • Passive Sensor
   • Both

   Hint

   Think about the source of illumination for each sensor type.

4. 4.

   Is it true that active sensors can operate in the dark?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the operation conditions of active sensors.

5. 5.

   Based on the differences in sensor functionality, analyze a scenario where both types of sensors might be necessary. Describe the situation and the data each sensor would collect.

   Hint

   Think about the conditions each sensor can operate best in and how they can complement each other.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the importance of sensor choice in climate monitoring. What factors should be considered when selecting between passive and active sensors?

   Hint

   Consider environmental conditions and desired output for monitoring.
