Одно из самых замечательных открытий…...

One of the most wonderful discoveries made by man is radio. It is the wireless transmission of signals or sounds through free space. By all means, it is something worth using. Many famous scientists have worked on the radio creation, including Nicola Tesla and Thomas Edison. However, the first radio receiver was introduced by Russian physicist Alexander Popov in 1895. Since its appearance, radio has been used for various purposes. Its early uses include sending telegraphic messages with the help of Morse code. It was also used during the wars for sending diplomatic and confidential messages. Before the advent of television, radio was used for broadcasting not only news and music, but dramas, comedies and other shows. From late 1920s till mid 1950s radio was the only means of mass media that used sound. Today, we use radio mainly for listening to music and the daily news. People who drive cars listen to it to get information about the road traffic. As for me, I like certain radio tunes, especially Europa Plus. I think it’s the best radio channel in our country. When I want to listen to English speech, I turn on the BBC channel. Mobile phones and MP3 players have made this even easier. I can listen to the radio anytime and anywhere I wish, not only at home or in my dad’s car. Radio is also one of the most powerful means of media. That’s why many large and small businesses advertise on radio nowadays. The thing I enjoy about radio is its entertaining power. There are many funny jokes, personal horoscopes, interactive games and interesting talk shows on the air.

Uses of Radio Waves

The prime purpose of radio is to convey information from one place to another through the intervening media (i.e., air, space, nonconducting materials) without wires. Besides being used for transmitting sound and television signals, radio is used for the transmission of data in coded form. In the form of radar it is used also for sending out signals and picking up their reflections from objects in their path. Long-range radio signals enable astronauts to communicate with the earth from the moon and carry information from space probes as they travel to distant planets (see space exploration). For navigation of ships and aircraft the radio range, radio compass (or direction finder), and radio time signals are widely used. Radio signals sent from global positioning satellites can also be used by special receivers for a precise indication of position (see navigation satellite). Digital radio, both satellite and terrestrial provides improved audio clarity and volume. Various remote-control devices, including rocket and artificial satellite operations systems and automatic valves in pipelines, are activated by radio signals. The development of the transistor and other microelectronic devices (see microelectronics) led to the development of portable transmitters and receivers. Cellular and cordless telephones are actually radio transceivers. Many telephone calls routinely are relayed by radio rather than by wires; some are sent via radio to relay satellites. Some celestial bodies and interstellar gases emit relatively strong radio waves that are observed with radio telescopes composed of very sensitive receivers and large directional antennas (see radio astronomy).
