THINGS BEGINNERS MUST LEARN FIRST

Explanation of Terms Used in Radio and of Hs Basic Principles. Due to the great Interest taken to radio since broadcasting stations hare been started, many radio terms are seen and beard that may be unfamiliar to the novice. .Some of the most commonly used terms are explained and defined below. Like light, beat and sound, radio energy la propagated to the form of a wave moyon. Every aae to familiar with the wave morion see up oe the surface of a still body of water by the dropping of a atone into tt. Every time a notnt on the surface of the waves goto through a complete set of motions aad starts to repeat those motions the wave to aaM to have gone through a cycle. The number of through per second to the The human ear to reepoarive to sound freqoeoclto up to a few thousand cycles per second bat to not capable of responding to the higher freoeMto encountered tn radio. Arbitrarily a frequency of ieea than 10.000 cycles bus been called an audible frequency —one which can.be beard—and frequencies above 10,000 cyctea, radio or

It 1a the ticquency of the cnrrlerwave that determiner »he wave-length on which a radiophone nation la transmitted. By erperiment It hna been found that electro-magnetic waves travel at the same velocity that light waves travel, that la 180.0U0 miles psr second. Wave-length la tlie distance between any two similar point* on two successive waves; for example, the distance from crest to crest of any two successive waves tn the same direction, measured to meter , a unit of length equal approximately to one and onetenth yards. Converting 186,000 miles to meters, the equivalent to 300.000.000 meters. The length of an electro-mag-netic wave la equal then to 300.000.000 divided by the frequency. Suppose a station waa transmitting on a wavelength of 3d0 meters. The frequency of the carrier-wave would be approxi-

The medium that transmits the elec-tro-magnetic waves to tbe eatae medium that transmits light—tha ether. This medium to snppooed to fill all space, even that occupied by fluids and solids. Little to known about Us properties. In radio It to more common tc apeak of wave leagth than frequency. Tbe wave length of any wave morion to the Tbe wave length depends upon the frequency. If the frequency to high tbe wave leagth to abort. Ob tbe other band if tbe frequency to low tbe wave length to long. Numerically tM wnve length to equal to tbe distance traveled by the wave to cue second divided by tbe frequency. Sappoee. for example. that It were de-ired to know the wave length of an electro-magnetic wave haring a frequency of 835,000 cycles. Electro-magnetic waves travel at tbe same speed as do light waves, that la. 186.000 miles per second. Dividing the 186,000 by 835.000 the wave length would be 223 miles or 396 yards. In radio work It Is measured la meters. A meter to equal to approximately 1.1 yards. Converting 396 yards Into meters the wave length would be 896 divided by 1.1 or 300 meter*. Thto to the wave length on which KDKA operates. It also means that the electro-magnetic waves sent oat from this station have a frequency of 835,000 cycle*. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES la a radiophone transmitter there are two requirements that must be fulfilled. First, there must be a source of high frequency current, say, between 15.000 and 1.500.000 cycles so connected to an antenna and ground system that energy in the form of electro magnetic we vet will he radiated. Second. there must be some method of cor.t rolling this hlgh-frequ'Wcy current or modulating it ao that the variations to tbe ampBriide of tha hlgti-f'-juencj current wOl be directly^pnqxjnhmai to tbe voice or music to be ir^naraltte.!.

The portion of a radio receiver that changes tbe wavelength at which It to electrically resonant to called a tuner. Suppose that "A" station transmits on a wave-length of 200 meters and "11" on a wave-length of 360 meters. By adjusting the tuner until the constants of the receiver make It eiec-

Thto to the reason that more than oae transmitter can be operating at one .time and yet only one can be beard on a receiver without Interference from the others. « The other necessary pert of a radio receiver to the detector. The function of thto portion of the receiver Is to utilise the small currents in the tuner that are set up by a transmitting station and make them audible through the medium of a telephone receiver. If the telephone receiver were connected directly to the inner the high-frequency current would not operate the diaphragm of the receiver rind even If the diaphragm were set tn motion It would be too fast a motion to be picked ap
