The sensing and recording ability of the sensor in different wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is known as :

  • A.Spatial resolution
  • B.Radiometric resolution
  • C.Temporal resolution
  • D.Spectral resolution

Answer: D

The ability is spectral resolution.

Spectral resolution describes how many bands of the electromagnetic spectrum a sensor records and how narrow they are. A multispectral sensor records a few broad bands; a hyperspectral sensor records hundreds of narrow ones.

The other three are different properties. Spatial resolution is the size of the smallest ground area a pixel represents. Radiometric resolution is the sensitivity to differences in brightness, expressed as the number of bits per pixel. Temporal resolution is how often the sensor revisits the same place.
