Is to radiate into space In the form of

1t Is the frequency OF the carrier

found that electromagnetic waves
travel ut the same velocity that 'igEt
waves travel, that is, 10000 miles per

between any two similar points on two
successive waves; for example. the dis.

meters. The length Of an electro-mag-

of the carrier-wave would be approx.

THINGS BEGINNERS
MUST LEARN FIRST
Explanation of Terms Used in
Radio and Of Its Basic
Principles.

Due to the great interest taken in rn
dlo since broadcasting stations have
been started, many radio terms are
seen and heard that may be unfamiliar
to the novice. Some Of the most com
monty used terms are explained and
defined below.
Like light, heat and sound, radio
energy Is propagated in the form of IL
wave motion. Every one is familiar
with the wave motion set up on the
surface Of still body of water by the
dropping Of stone into 1t.
Every time q point on the surface
of the waves goes through complete
set of motions and starts to repeat
those motions the wave is said to have
gone through cycle.
The number of complete cycles gone
through per second Is the frequency.
The human ear Is responsive to
sound frequencies up to few thousand
cycles per second but is not capable of
responding to the higher frequencies
encountered in radio. Arbitrarily II
frequency Of less than 10000 cycles
has been called an audible frequency
one which can be heard-and fire.!
quencies above 10000 cycles. radio or
inaudible eQuencies-because they
cannot be heard by the human ear.
The particular type Of wave which
propagntes radio energy is an electro
magnetic wave. All Of US have seen
bits of iron and steel attracted by the
little toy magnets made up In the form
Of horseshoes. This attraction Of the
magnet for the bits Of iron and steel
