There are many applications which can take advantage of hyperspectral remote sensing. Atmosphere: water vapor, cloud properties, aerosols. Ecology: chlorophyll, leaf water, cellulose, pigmemts, lignin. Geology: mineral and soil types.
electroplating definition A process whereby a thin coat of metal is applied to a material. The process involves placing the material to be coated in a solution containing ions of the metal and then passing an electric current through the system, which causes the ions to adhere to the material.
During the process, the surface to be covered acts as a cathode in an electrolytic cell, and the metal that is to cover it acts as an anode. Electroplating is usually used to cover a less expensive metal with a more expensive metal, or to cover a corrosive metal with a less corrosive or noncorrosive metal.
