Q. Which of the following is not a method of levelling?

View solution

Q. Which of the following methods of levelling makes use of the phenomenon that difference in elevation between two points is proportional to the difference in atmospheric pressures at these points?

View solution

Q. At a given point, the atmospheric pressure doesn’t remain constant in the course of the day, even in the course of an hour.

View solution

Q. Which process of levelling in which the elevations of points are computed from the vertical angles and horizontal distances measured in the field?

View solution

Q. Which of the following methods of levelling is a modified form of stadia levelling?

View solution

Q. Surveyor’s telescope is an adaptation of Kepler’s telescope.

View solution

Q. The optical principles of the surveying telescope are based on the fact that all parallel rays of light reaching a convex lens are bent when they leave it in such a manner that they intersect at a common point, called the focus.

View solution

Q. In surveyor’s telescope, the convex lens nearest to the object is called ______________

View solution

Q. In surveyor’s telescope, the convex lens nearest to the eye is called ____________

View solution

Q. The object glass provides a virtual inverted image in front of the eyepiece which in turn magnifies the image to produce a real erect image in surveyors telescope.

View solution

Q. The line of sight is also called _____

View solution

Q. What is the line which passes through the optical centres of objective and eye piece?

View solution

Q. The eyepiece magnifies the cross hairs.

View solution

Q. The focal length of an objective varies with eyepiece.

View solution

Q. The establishment of line of sight, therefore, involves the following two essential conditions, the real image must be formed in front of the eyepiece, the plane of the image must coincide with that of the cross hairs.

View solution

Q. The operation of forming or bringing the clear image of the object in the plane of cross hairs is known as ______

View solution

Q. A level provides a vertical line of sight, a line tangential to a Level surface at the point where the instrument stands.

View solution

Q. The theory of direct levelling neglects _____

View solution

Q. Which of the following methods of spirit levelling is, levelling the object of which is solely to determine the difference in elevation of two points regardless of the horizontal position of the points with respect to each other?
