3. transistorized circuitry – цепь, собранная на транзисторах

Electronics.

1. To separate electronics from the concepts of electricity is extremely difficult. The field of electricity is generally concerned with magnetism, light, heating and the production of electricity by generators and chemical action.

2. Electronics usually deals with the application of electricity in communications, in radio, television and other devices where vacuum tubes¹ and transistors are employed. We know the vacuum tube and the transistor to be major components of various electronic devices.

3. The many disadvantages of vacuum tubes include high cost, bulky construction, high amount of operating current², limited life and high operating temperature. However the vacuum tube is ideal in many situations where electrical energy is readily available and where heat is no problem.

4. A more recent invention – the transistor is known to have replaced the vacuum tube in many situations. The transistor operates on a minimum amount of electrical energy, emits very little heat and has a long life. The transistor is tiny compared to the size of the vacuum tube of equivalent energy output. This feature has permitted an electronic circuit to be so small that the electronic technician uses magnifying lenses to aid him in his circuit construction and repair.

5. Later research has revealed a device which has revolutionized the field of transistor, Lew Esaki, discovered a simple semiconductor class of crystal that is even more amazing than the transistor. The tunnel diode⁴, as it is called, operates on a negligible amount of electric current, its diameter being some few thousandths of an inch. With such a transistor man will be able to see telephones to be worn on wrists, pocket-size TV sets and ring radio sets⁵.

6. Several recent developments in the field of electronics have led to better ways to communicate efficiently over long distances. The maser and the laser permit man to beam extremely coherent and concentrated energy with almost no loss of intensity. Lasers and masers are known to have been used for transmitting power, radio waves and other waves used in communication.

 

V. Прочитайте 6-ой абзац текста и письменно ответьте на следующий вопрос:

Where will lasers and masers be used?

Пояснения к тексту:

1. Crookes tube – трубка Крукса

2. an X-ray film – рентгеновская плёнка

3. forgery - подделка

4. strain – биологический штамм

 

X-Rays.

1. The modern atomic age which we live in began because of an accidental discovery. In 1895 a German scientists named Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the existence of X-rays. Many scientists had studied these rays but no one had discovered that when these cathode rays struck the glass wall of Crookes tube¹ X-rays were created.

2. Roentgen also revealed that these X-rays could pass through solid matter and expose an X-ray film². This discovery led immediately to the use of X-rays in medicine, the use we are all familiar with.

3. Although Roentgen discovered the properties of X-rays he did not know what rays were. He therefore called them X-rays, the X standing for their unknown nature. Today scientists know X-rays to be electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequency and therefore of extremely short-wave length. X-rays are considered to be produced whenever rapidly moving electrons bombard any solid material. The greater the atomic weight of the material, the more plentiful the X-rays, the greater the speed of the electrons the higher the frequency of the X-rays.

4. As mentioned above X-rays were in a wide use for diagnostic purposes in medicine since their discovery. Industrial radiology has been discovered later particularly for inspecting welds and castings in the automobile and airplane industries. Flaws and cracks inside the metal are readily revealed due to the use of X-ray techniques. Famous paintings are often X-rayed to determine whether they are the originals or forgeries³.

5. Using X-rays irradiation the scientists have learnt to change structures of well-known materials such as metals, ceramics, etc. They could obtain materials of greater strength with higher melting point and particular electrical properties.

6. Radiation is known to be a multagenic agent. In microbiology mutations are increased by irradiation. When a large-scale production of penicillin was introduced the best strain⁴ yielded 100-200 units of penicillin. Being irradiated with X-rays, the same strain produced more than 1,000 units. Many new uses have been found for this treatment in agriculture.

 

V. Прочитайте 6-ой абзац текста и письменно ответьте на следующий вопрос:

What increase was obtained in the productivity of penicillin being irradiated with X-rays?
