, 1840 was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century Peter Illich
Tchaikovsky. The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later studied composition at the
St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of productivity occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which time he

when she, herself, was facing financial difficulties. It was during the time of Madame Von Meck's patronage, however,
that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for the ballets of "Swan Lake" and
"The Sleeping Beauty".
Tchaikovsky's music, well known for its rich melodic and sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the first that

A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must
use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching
objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what
happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the
cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light,
about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes
produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a
trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word "radar", in fact, gets its
name from the term "radio detection and ranging". "Ranging" is the term for detection of the distance between an object
and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at
sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.

A. History of radar B. Types of ranging C. The nature of radar D. Alternatives to radar
