THE RADIO
The radio is one of the wonders of modern science. It carries our feeble voice to the farthest corner of the world. It gives us news, song, dance, talk, play, poetry and what not.
The radio is the system of sending messages, song, talk etc. through the space by means of electric waves. It is a combination of the telephone and the telegraph and is an improvement on the two, because it can do without wires or without any connection between the stations. The Italian scientist, G. Marconi, was mainly responsible for its invention.
The radio is based on the science of sound. As soon as a word is uttered certain vibrations are produced in the air. These vibrations are called ‘sound waves’, because they are transmitted to the ear in a wave-like form. Anything that is uttered in the broadcasting station can be heard in all places where there are receiving sets. The main function of a broadcasting station is the amplification of the vibrations. The receiving sets are apparatuses for catching the sound of broadcast. The vibrations which are reproduced require some energy for the reproduction. This energy is supplied by electricity and as such in every receiving valve set, there is a battery charged with electricity. In the case of the valve set, there are loud-speakers. These resemble gramophone horns and enable any number of men to listen.
When we listen to our all-wave set, the world becomes our neighbour. The radio is the world’s microphone. With its help our leaders may easily address the nation from a small room. They need not stand on a platform facing thousands of eager listeners under the blazing sun. if democracy means real bond between the government and the people, the radio is surely a grand instrument of modern democracy. Even the unlettered million get knowledge of the latest developments in the world through it.
The uses of the radio are manifold. Those who have hunger for news are satisfied with the news broadcast. Those who are interested in sports find immense joy in the football match replay. The businessman gets his quotation of prices, the politician finds his political news, the lover of music has his favourite song, the sailors his weather forecast and the common man the latest food position of the country. To the patients ailing in the hospital the radio is a great source of enjoyment. The radio broadcasts special programmes for special listeners like the students, the children, the women, the labourers, the solders and so forth.
The radio entertains as well as instructs. Humble people who cannot afford music and play at their own cost can easily listen to the radio and enjoy themselves. The radio now-a-days can mould the country’s taste refinement. The radio has broken the wall between the literate and the illiterate. Even the illiterate are being educated by the radio.
The radio has been a great help in the drive for adult education. It has also made the fruits of culture available to all classes of people.The radio is one of the gifts of science to society. Even in a poor country like ours, the use of the radio is not limited. Our engineers have come forward and taken up the study of wireless in its practical aspects. At present cheaper wireless sets may be manufactured in our country. Modern civilisation without the wireless system cannot be imagined.
