WHAT'S MORE

Terms Definition

Capacitor A device that stores electrical energy

in an electric field.

Electric field The electric force per unit charge.

Electrical Transmitter An electronic device used in

telecommunications to produce radio
waves in order to transmit or send
data.

Ultra high frequency band Refers to the band of electromagnetic

radiation with a radio frequency range
between 300 MHz and 3 GHz (3000
 MHz).

Electromagnetic spectrum Is the range of frequencies of

electromagnetic radiation and their
respective wavelengths and photon
energies.

Electromagnetic waves Are waves that are created as a result

of vibrations between an electric field
and a magnetic field.

Hertz (Hz) The SI unit of frequency, equal to one

cycle per second.
Magnetic field Is a vector field that describes the
magnetic influence on moving electric
charges, electric currents, and
magnetic materials.

Magnetic induction Is the production of an electromotive

force across an electrical conductor in
a changing magnetic field.

Radio waves Are a type of electromagnetic radiation

with wavelengths in the
electromagnetic spectrum longer than
infrared light.

Self-inductance The induction of a voltage in a current-

carrying wire when the current in the
wire itself is changing.

Spark-gap A space between electrical terminals

across which a transient discharge
passes.

Voltage Is the pressure from an electrical

circuit's power source that pushes
charged electrons through a
conducting loop, enabling them to do
work such as illuminating a light.

WHAT I CAN DO
A.
1. Operators are known to block some SMS routes from time to time. This
also requires SMS services to re-route the message via another working
route, which can cause temporary delivery issues. In some cases,
however, all can come down to the simple point that the carrier is having
some technical difficulties and messages are just not able to be delivered.
2. Sometimes different applications on the handset can receive SMS
messages and due to their conflicts, the messages are not being correctly
received by the handset as the applications are conflicting and the
message is not able to deliver to any of them resulting in a failed message.
In certain cases, there may be conflicts between different applications that
may receive SMS messages. This may cause one or all of the applications
not to receive messages due to their SMS receiving capability turned off.
Also, there is a possibility of the default application staying in the position
of not receiving the messages after a conflicting application has been
removed
 3. The technology includes telephony and video conferencing, facsimile,
broadcast and interactive television, instant messaging, email, distributed
electronic collaboration, a host of Web- and Internet-based communication
and data transmission. It transmits and stores your intellectual property
and it also comprises the means through which you connect to your
partners, suppliers and customers. The technology allows your firm to
gather, collate, analyze, share and act on information in a variety of ways
that ultimately bear on your bottom line.
4.
a. They are used in standard broadcast radio and television.
b. They are used in shortwave radio.
c. Used in navigation and air-traffic control.
d. Used in cellular telephony.
e. Used in remote-controlled toys.
B.
- Heinrich Hertz uses a spark gap connected to the induction coil and
another spark gap of the receiving antenna to generate and detect
electromagnetic waves in his laboratory. It achieved its goal of verifying the
Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell's prediction that light and heat are
electromagnetic radiation. His discoveries made possible the invention of
radio, television, satellite communications, mobile phones, radar, and other
devices.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES

Name of material Does the mobile Does the remote My observations

phone work? control/device
(Yes/no) work? (Yes/no)

Aluminum foil No No Since it is made

from metal,
aluminum foil has
the power to block
radio waves. The
thin sheet of metal
acts as a shield
and blocks the RF
EMFs from
reaching you.

Plastic wrap Yes Yes The plastic wrap

works perfectly on
both the remote
control and mobile
phone, and the
message is sent
easily to the
wrapped phone.

Paper Yes Yes Same with the

plastic wrap, when
you wrap the
paper on the
remote control
and phone, both
devices still work
and the message
is sent to another
mobile phone.

Cotton Yes Yes Yes, wrapping

cotton on a mobile
phone and a
remote control
does not hinder
the devices from
working and the
message to be
sent.
