98. In a side-looking radar image of a mountain region , which of the following is true?

A) Lower the depression angle, shadow is the phenomenon
B) Higher the depression angle, layover is the phenomenon
C) Higher the depression angle, forshortening is the phenomenon
D) Lower the depression angle, forshortening is the phenomenon

Answer:C





Explanation:

The curvature of a transmitted radar pulse causes the top of a tall 

vertical feature to reflect energy advances of it base, which results 

in displacement of the top towards the near range on the image, 

this distortion is called foreshortening or image layover.

1. Height of targets higher features are foreshortened more than

 lower features.

2. Radar depression angle features imaged with steep (large)

 depression angles are foreshortened more than those acquired with 

shallow (small) depression angle





1. Kiran 5ft tall and,standing 3ft away form a spot on his kitchen floor then what is the angle of depression?


Solution:

The angle of depression is the angle between the horizontal and 

your line of sight (when looking down)



tanθ = opposite / adjacent



tanθ = 5/ 3


tanθ = 1.66


θ = tan-1 (1.66)


θ= 59.089˚



Therefore Depression angle θ= 59.089˚
