1.What is remote sensing?
Remote sensing is the science and art of obtaining information about on object, area, or phenomena through the analysis of data acquired by a device that is not in contact with the object, area, or phenomena under investigation.
2.What are all the applications of remote sensing?
In many respects, remote sensing can be thought of as a reading process. Using various sensors, we remotely collect data that may be analyzed to obtain information about the objects, areas, or phenomena being investigated. The remotely collected data can be of many forms, including variations in force distributions, acoustic wave distributions, or electromagnetic energy distributions.
3.Write the physics of remote sensing ?
Visible light is only one of many forms of electromagnetic energy. Radio waves, heat, ultraviolet rays, and X-rays are other familiar forms. All this energy is inherently similar and radiates in accordance with basic wave theory. This theory describes electromagnetic energy as traveling in harmonic, sinusoidal fashion at the “velocity of light” c. The distance from one wave peak to the next is the wave length ψ, and the number of peaks passing a fixed point in space per unit time is the wave frequency V.
From basic physics, wave obey the general equation
C = v y
