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 intervals 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 be 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 range of flight, in other words) , the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar was coined.
Radar enabled the English to______.
选项
A、detect German planes on their way to London
B、direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectively
C、confuse German bomber pilots
D、both A and B
答案
D
解析
文章第二段提到在第二次世界大战中,英国人利用无线电波可以侦查出德国飞机的位置,而且那些数量占多数的皇家空军常常会对德军造成一定的困惑,第三段提到那些皇家空军是由那些无线电波指控的。故A项和B项都正确,所以选D。
