Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo) , you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.
During World War II the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target.
They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds.
The outnumbered Royal Air Force(RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to by lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their rage of flight, in other words) , the device was called "radio directing and ranging" , and from the initials the word "radar" was coined.
Practical application of this principle resulted in______.
选项
A、new electronic instruments for planes
B、a radio directing and ranging device
C、new radio sets for RAF bombers
D、an electronic detecting device
答案
B
解析
第二段的大意是:二战的时候,英国人将这个原理应用于实战,只是他们使用的是无线电波,而不是声波,因为无线电波能穿透雾气和云层。第三段继续就无线电波展开,并且说明“雷达”这个词的由来。因此答案为B(无线电探测器,雷达)。
