  3. Radio At one time a radio was called a "wireless" because the signal it received did not come through w _ _ _ _ . A radio transmitter s _ _ _ _ out invisible waves of energy which can be picked up by an aerial r _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . wires. sends receiver. Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  4. Radio • The radio waves can travel through air the air at a speed of 300 000 000 metres per s _ _ _ _ _ . (300 000 000 = 300 hundred million.) This means that they travel l _ _ _ _ distances in a very short time. second. large Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  5. Radio Parts of a radio receiver • A radio is an electronic system which is used to detect radio w _ _ _ _ and change them into speech and music. • Every radio has five main parts, all having a different j _ _ to do. waves job Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  7. Functions of the main parts of a radio radio Aerial - Detects all r _ _ _ _ waves. Tuner - Selects one radio s _ _ _ _ _ _ by picking out one frequency. Decoder - Separates the s _ _ _ _ signal from the radio w _ _ _. Amplifier - Makes the small electrical s _ _ _ _ _ stronger. (The extra e _ _ _ _ _ is supplied to the amplifier by a battery or the mains). Loudspeaker - Changes the e _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ signal into a sound wave. station sound wave. signal energy electrical Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  8. Radio frequency different Each radio station broadcasts on a d _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ radio frequency. The f _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of a wave is the number of waves produced in one second. The frequency is measured in h _ _ _ _ (Hz). frequency hertz 1 000 Hz = 1 _ _ _ _ hertz (kHz) This means 1 000 waves in one second. 1 000 000 Hz = 1 _ _ _ _ hertz (MHz) This means 1 000 000 waves in one second. kilo mega Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  11. Radio frequency lower The medium wave band (MW) contains l _ _ _ _ frequency radio stations like Radio 5, which has a frequency of 909 kHz ( _ _ _ _ _ _ Hz). 909 000 Signs at the side of motorways give d _ _ _ _ _ _ information about radio frequencies. drivers FM stations have a h _ _ _ _ _ frequency than medium wave (MW) higher Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  13. Television high A television receiver picks up very h _ _ _ frequency radio waves. These signals travel at 300 million m _ _ _ _ _ per second through the air but have a higher frequency than signals from a r _ _ _ _ transmitter. This means radio and T.V. signals travel at the s _ _ _ speed metres radio same Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  19. Television – Colour pictures three In a colour television only t _ _ _ _ colours can be produced on the screen. The three colours are R _ _ , G _ _ _ _ and B _ _ _ . All the other colours are produced by m _ _ _ _ _ these three colours.When RED, GREEN and BLUE are all mixed together W _ _ _ _ is produced.

  20. Television – Colour pictures light Any colour can be made by mixing the l _ _ _ _ of these colours. You can remember the order of colours in the "star" by remembering the following: Rich Young Girls Can Buy Meals R _ _ Y _ _ _ _ _ G _ _ _ _ C _ _ _ B _ _ _ M _ _ _ _ _ _ Red Yellow Green Cyan Blue Magenta Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  22. Intermediate 1 Physics Telecommunication • Satellites Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  23. Satellites Radio waves can be sent around the w _ _ _ _ via satellites. For example, the American Superbowl competition can be seen l _ _ _ in the U.K. because of the signal being passed on by s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. world live satellite. Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  24. Uses of satellites Modern satellites can beam various signals back to the ground. For example: T.V. p _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ p _ _ _ _ calls w _ _ _ _ _ _ pictures t _ _ _ _ _ _ _ stolen cars. The satellites o _ _ _ _ the earth and t _ _ _ _ _ _ _ signals to or r _ _ _ _ _ _ signals from ground stations. programmes phone weather tracking orbit transmit receive Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  25. Geostationary satellites A Geostationary satellite always remains above the s _ _ _ point of the Equator on the Earth's surface. The dish on the ground can be set to receive a strong signal and not be m _ _ _ _ again. same moved Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  27. Curved Reflectors The signals from satellites travel great distances and a bare aerial cannot pick up a s _ _ _ _ _ e _ _ _ _ _ signal. A curved reflector can bring radio waves to a f _ _ _ _ just like curved mirrors cause l _ _ _ _ rays to meet at the focus. strong enough focus light Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  30. Curved Reflectors A strong/weak radio signal can be detected if the aerial is positioned at the focus of the curved reflector. More/Less of the wave energy is collected when these aerials are used. (This is because the dish collects more/less of the energy in the wave than a bare aerial. Also its curved shape f _ _ _ _ _ _ the collected energy on to the aerial.) focuses Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  31. Curved Reflectors Very large dish aerials are used to detect radio waves from distant stars. These detectors are called r _ _ _ _ t _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . radio telescopes. Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  32. Intermediate 1 Physics Telecommunication • Optical fibres Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  33. Reflection We can look at our r _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ in a mirror or the light from any shiny object being reflected. The angles i and r are the s _ _ _ size. reflection r the angle of reflection same Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  34. Optical fibres wires. At one time signals always were sent throughcopperw _ _ _ _ . An e _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ current flows through the phone lines but e _ _ _ _ _ is lost and the signal needs to be boosted every so often at repeater stations. An optical fibre is a very t _ _ _ piece of flexible g _ _ _ _ which can carry l _ _ _ _ energy. The light is r _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ between the sides of the optical fibre. electrical energy glass thin light reflected Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  35. Optical fibres In air, light travels at the s _ _ _ speed as radio waves, _ _ _ million metres per second. In optical fibres, the light travels slightly s _ _ _ _ _ at 200 million metres per second. same 300 slower Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  36. Uses of optical fibres More and more people are receiving signals into their homes which have come through optical f _ _ _ _ _ , for example: cable t _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ p _ _ _ _ calls h _ _ _ banking I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ access fibres, television phone home Internet Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  37. Uses of optical fibres One disadvantage of using optical fibres is the inconvenience of having to lay the cables u _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ which means digging trenches along the pavements. One advantage is not having to install a satellite d _ _ _ on the wall of the house. Another advantage is that the reception is not affected by b _ _ weather conditions, e.g. heavy s _ _ _ . underground dish bad snow. Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  44. Mobile phones There are advantages and disadvantages to using a mobile phone. You do not have to find a phone box when you want to make an urgent call. However, some drivers cause a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ when they use a m _ _ _ _ _ phone and drive at the same time. accidents mobile Beath High School - Int 1 Physics

  45. Mobile phones Some locations prevent you using the mobile phone, for example: • in the Scottish H _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (the hills s _ _ _ the signal) • inside l _ _ _ tunnels. Highlands stop long Beath High School - Int 1 Physics
