Which type of remote-sensing produces its own electromagnetic radiation and uses radar to gather data?
RADAR
Which type of remote-sensing system produces its own electromagnetic radiation and uses radar to gather data?
RADAR
What is wavelength in remote sensing?
Wavelength in remote sensing refers to the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave. Different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, infrared, and microwaves, are used in remote sensing to gather information about Earth's surface and atmosphere. By analyzing the wavelengths of reflected or emitted radiation, scientists can infer valuable data about the environment being observed.
In some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum the atmosphere is described as opaque What does this mean for remote sensing?
When the atmosphere is opaque in certain parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, it means that the radiation in those wavelengths is largely absorbed or scattered by the atmosphere. This can limit the ability of remote sensing instruments to gather data in those specific wavelengths, affecting the accuracy and quality of the observations. Scientists need to consider these atmospheric effects when interpreting remote sensing data to ensure reliable results.
What kind of data do field studies gather that remote sensing cannot gather?
There are a few field studies that sensing cannot put together. Some of the studies are space and earth.
What is used to gather data in a passive remote sensing system?

What is energy traveling as EM waves used to gather images of outer space called?
The energy is called electromagnetic energy. It is the energy carried by electromagnetic waves. In principle, any frequency of EM waves can be used to gather information about objects in outer space.
In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum have astronomers been unable to get any information?
We can get information from any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum provided we use the correct "listening" devices; that is the entire range, Radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultra violet, xray, and gamma rays
Astronomers study the universe by analyzing electromagnetic radiation of all frequencies from microwaves to X rays. What kinds of information may be obtained in this way?
Analyzing electromagnetic radiation across different frequencies allows astronomers to gather information about the composition, temperature, motion, and energy of celestial objects. This data can provide insights into the formation, evolution, and behavior of objects in the universe, helping astronomers deepen their understanding of the cosmos.
Explain how astronomers use electromagnetic radiation to study space?
Electromagnetic radiation is "light." Light in various wavelengths (gamma rays through to infrared) comes to us from out in space, and astronomers use instruments called telescopes to capture it and observe the bodies and processes emitting this light.
What kinds of jobs use EM spectrum?
Jobs that involve using the electromagnetic spectrum include telecommunications engineers, radio astronomers, radiologists, and remote sensing specialists. These professionals work with various parts of the EM spectrum to communicate, study celestial objects, conduct medical imaging, and gather information about the environment, respectively.
What is used to gather data in an active remote-sensing system?
Active remote-sensing systems use their own energy source to obtain information by transmitting a signal and analyzing the data that is reflected or backscattered. This can include radar systems that emit microwaves or lidar systems that emit laser light.
