    Question

    Tellurometer, a long-range EDM, uses ______for distance measurement.

    A.

    microwaves

    B.

    infrared waves

    C.

    visible light waves

    D.

    ultraviolet waves

    Correct option is A

    Clinometer:- It is an instrument for measuring
    angles of slope, elevation or depression of an object with respect to the ground.
    • While the spirit level is restricted to relatively small angles, clinometers can be used for much larger
    angles.
    • Clinometers are used to determine the straightness and flatness of surfaces.
    Tellurometer:- It is an EDM that uses high-frequency radio waves (microwaves) for measuring distance. Pantagraph:- It is used for enlarging, reducing, or reproducing the plans. Its working is based on the principle of similar triangles.
    Planimeter:- It is used for measurement of the area of cross-sections for the highways and railways, and for checking computed areas in property surveys and property divisions.
    •The area determined with a planimeter is more accurate when the area is larger and particularly when the plotting scale is large.
