Discuss in pairs or small groups. 2.
The medium you like best for an interview, print, radio, or television.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The medium I like best for an interview is the television. It has both audio and visual effect. It presents the interviewer and interviewee before the audience in their true colours. Usually celebrities accuse the reporters of misquoting them or misreporting them in the print media or the radio. This is not possible when they are face-to-face on the television. Their lip movement and body movement while replying to probing questions are there for all to see. The recording of various expressions coming on the face of the interviewee and his/her gestures and words are the additional advantages that television holds over the print media or the radio. The print media has dull, dry words alongside a picture whereas the radio tries to create the atmosphere by skilful variation of the sound. Both expect a lot of attention from the reader/audience.

    Your teacher or any one student will read out the text given below to the whole class. Listen carefully. Working in groups of four, note down in short the important points as you listen. Discuss in your group. Recreate and write the text you have listened to. You need not write the exact text, but the meaning should be nearest to the actual text read out to you. Your teacher will read out the text again for all the groups so that you can check whether you have understood the text well.

    Propagation of radio waves The behaviour of electromagnetic waves of wavelength 10^(-3) m and higher (called radio waves) in their propagation through atmosphere is an important consideration in all modern forms of communication, radio, television, microwaves, etc. At low frequencies, radio waves radiated by an antenna near the earth travel directly following the surface of the earth. This is called wave-along-ground propagation. Radio waves of frequencies 2 MHz-20 MHz are reflected off the ionosphere. So, radio waves in this frequency range radiated from a certain point can be received at another point on the surface after being reflected by the ionosphere. This is known as skywave propagation. Television signals have frequencies in the 100-200 MHz range and penetrate ionosphere (no reflection), therefore, their propagation is not possible through sky waves. The reception of such waves is possible only if the receiver antenna directly intercepts the signals. Thus, television broadcasts are made from tall antenna to get larger coverage. This is known as space wave propagation. Answer the following questions. What is the frequency range of television signals?
