An accelerogram is digitised at 200 samples per second. The highest frequency that can be represented without aliasing is

  • A.200 Hz
  • B.400 Hz
  • C.50 Hz
  • D.100 Hz

Answer: D

Correct answer: 100 Hz

The Nyquist frequency is half the sampling rate: \[ \frac{200}{2} = 100\ \mathrm{Hz}. \] Content above it is not merely lost but folded back into the record as spurious low-frequency energy, which is why an analogue anti-aliasing filter is applied before digitising rather than afterwards.
