← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a pulsed laser rangefinder's photodiode receives scattered, rather than directly reflected light?
A)Compensated signal amplitude increase
B)Reduced motor control resolution
C)Inaccurate distance measurement emerges✓
D)Increased system power consumption
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate distance measurement emerges because diffuse reflection causes signal distortion due to the *signal averaging* process of the sensor; therefore, range is incorrectly calculated, rather than an amplitude increase, which is somewhat normalized utilizing automatic gain control (AGC).
