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 I1 the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London 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 (袭击). 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 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. [br] The British used radio waves because they______.
选项
A、were more exact than sound waves
B、could not be detected
C、could penetrate fog and clouds
D、were easier to use than sound waves
答案
C
解析
从文章第二段第二句我们知道,他们(英国人)使用无线电波而不是声波是因为无线电波能够穿透云雾,所以正确答案为C;A.(无线电波)比声波更精确;B.不能被探测;D.比声波更容易使用;这三项显然不对。
