Question
Assume that you only have data from filters #1 and #2. For the following question, choose the answer that correctly describes the appearance of the sample in both filters (i.e. which is brighter or darker). Can you distinguish basalt from a green leaf? If so, how? CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER! -
-Yes, green leaf is brighter than basalt in filter 1 but fainter than basalt in filter 2.
-Yes, basalt is brighter than green leaf in both filters. Anorthosite : : : : : Reflectance | Olivine Green Leaf 0.1 Basalt 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 Wavelength (nm)Explanation / Answer
Answer - Green Leaf is brighter than basalt in both the filters.
Reasons - Higher the reflectance = Higher is the brightness value. In both the filters, green leaf shows higher reflectance values basalt. In filter 1 it is 0.2/0.09 while in filter 2 it is 0.67/0.09 for Grean leaf/ Basalt reflectance ratios.
