1. The relation between velocity, wavelength and frequency can be given as _________
a) λ = c / r
b) λ = c / f
c) λ = c / h
d) λ = h*c / f
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Photons are the main constituent particles in the electromagnetic energy. The
relation between velocity, wavelength and frequency is determined as λ = c / f, where λ
represents wavelength, f is the frequency of the wave and c represents the velocity of the
wave, which is equal to speed of light.
2. Remote sensing uses which of the following waves in its procedure?

a) Electric field
b) Sonar waves
c) Gamma- rays
d) Electro-magnetic waves
