Which spectral range is MOST useful for identifying mineral compositions in geological remote sensing?
A. Visible light (400-700 nm)
B. Near-infrared (700-1400 nm)
C. Thermal infrared (3-14 �m)
D. Microwave
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Thermal infrared detects emitted heat and is sensitive to mineralogical differences due to their thermal properties.It is valuable in mineral exploration.This Question Belongs to Geological Engineering >> Remote Sensing And GIS In Geological Engineering
