Word: T-ray Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Initialism of t(erahertz) + ray, modelled after X-ray. The term was coined in Bell Labs in the United States in the mid-1990s. Pronunciation: /ˈtiːˌɹeɪ/, /ˈtiˌɹeɪ/ 1. An electromagnetic wave with a frequency intermediate between, and sharing the properties of, short radio waves and long infrared waves, generally in the 0.1 to 10 terahertz (THz) band of frequencies. Labels: also, attributive, in-plural Example: This terahertz "T-ray" technology combines imaging, real-time acquisition of terahertz waveforms and advanced signal processing techniques to obtain far-infrared images of objects and materials. In many cases, T-Ray^([sic]) images can also distinguish chemical compositions of the object. These features of T-ray imaging have generated interest in commercial applications in diverse areas as moisture analysis, quality control of plastic parts, packaging inspection, and trace gas analysis and monitoring. Example: Military officials believe T-rays could pinpoint the chemical constituents of anti-personnel mines, and spot terrorists carrying explosives into airports. Doctors are interested in T-rays because they are less damaging to living tissue than X-rays. Terahertz radiation is slightly more energetic than that of microwave ovens, and slightly less energetic than the infra-red light emitted by TV remote controls. […] Scientists are designing devices that can exploit the power of T-ray detection.

"There's Robbie at the garden gate beckoning us. I expect mother's very angry," cried Duncan, despairingly. "Who cares? let him beckon," Elsie replied, with the most provoking indifference.
