Chapter 2 — Exam Question 8

Indicate True or False: The amount of energy detected by a remote sensing sensor is a

function of how energy is partitioned between its source and the materials with which it
interacts on its way to the detector.

Answer

True

. The amount of energy detected by a remote sensor depends on how much

of the original amount is absorbed, transmitted, scattered and reflected by ma-
terials (in the atmosphere and on the surface) on the way from the source of the
energy to the sensor.
