When one element in a linear sequential array is damaged, which portion of the image is affected?

When one element in a linear sequential array is damaged, which portion of the image is affected?

• A. The entire image
• B. The portion extending directly below the damaged element
• C. The image above the damaged element
• D. The image to the left of the damaged element

Answer: (B)

In a linear sequential array, each element corresponds to one scan line. If an element is damaged, the data for that particular line are corrupted, so the image region associated with that line is affected. On the display, that shows up as the vertical stripe directly below (along the same lateral position) the damaged element, extending from the shallow up to the deepest parts of the image. The rest of the image, formed by the functioning elements, remains unaffected.
