Test Six If you stand a short distance away from a high wall and shout, your voice sometimes comes back to you as an echo. This happens because the 1 waves are reflected 2 the wall. This is the principle of radar, 3 instead of sound it is radio waves which are reflected. This 4 was made a few years before the last war,5 radio waves from a transmitting station 6 reflected back from a distant aeroplane.
It was realized 7 an apparatus could be devised to send out radio waves 8 and record the 9 from any approaching aeroplanes, it would be a wonderful method of defense 10 war.
Scientists 11 solving the problem and radar was 12. An apparatus was made which sent out waves in pulses, and the presence of a distant aeroplane was shown on the screen of a cathode(陰極) ray tube, (this is 13 we have in a television set). 14 this way radar stations could detect the approach of enemy aircraft.
After the war radar was put to peaceful uses. It is now installed at airports to 15 aeroplanes down safely in fog. It is fitted to ships so that they are warned 16 obstructions ahead,17 icebergs. It guides ships into port. It provides aeroplanes and ships 18 a magic eye, with 19 they can see 20 into the distance, in the dark or in fog.
