1. Television sets function using a device called the cathode ray tube (CRT). CRTs are instruments that actually display the images that appear on television screens. The cathode is a filament inside a glass tube. When it is heated, it attracts electrons from the ray within a vacuum created inside the tube. Other aspects of the television set that help it function include steering coils, phosphors and transmitted TV signals that actually dictate how beams are fired at the TV screen. Each of these factors work in concert to transmit images.
the TV set on when and how to move the electron beam across the face of the screen. Each signal is defined by the number of pulses it discharges to the beam of electrons. For instance, horizontal-retrace signals have 5-microsecond pulses at zero volts, with a variance at 0.5 (black) and 2.0 volts (white). The signal controls the intensity and, in a color TV set, has a 3.0 MHz bandwidth limitation. The verticalretrace pulse, on the other hand, discharges 400 to 500 microsecond pulses. The pulse, which is serrated, is in sync with the beam as it crosses horizontally across the screen.
