Which outcome occurs when a pulsed laser rangefinder's photodiode receives scattered, rather than directly reflected light?

💡 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).
