5.8.1. Types of interactions

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is reflection in the context of remote sensing?

   Hint

   Think about how light reflects off a mirror.

2. 2.

   Define scattering.

   Hint

   Consider how sunlight looks on a foggy day.

3. 3.

   What occurs in reflection?

   • EMR gets absorbed
   • EMR bounces off a surface
   • EMR passes through

   Hint

   Think of a mirror.

4. 4.

   True or False: Scattering can improve image clarity in remote sensing.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider cloudy days.

5. 5.

   Given a situation where a satellite captures an image at sunset, explain how scattering and absorption influence the image’s appearance.

   Hint

   Think about changes in colors during different times of the day.

6. 6.

   Discuss how understanding the types of interactions can help improve remote sensing technology and image processing.

   Hint

   Focus on advancements in technology and processing techniques.
