Questions 43 to 46 are based on the following text.

Television is a way of sending sounds and pictures through the air. Scientists have been interested in the idea of television since the 1880s. Although John Logie Baird as the first to show how television worked, his success was based on work by many other scientists from all over the world. Baird showed his set in 1926. The first television service opened in 1936 in Britain. Colour television began in the United States in 1956.

At first, all television was black and white. Few people owned television sets because they were very expensive. Now nearly every home has one.

Television works by changing LIGHT waves into electric signals. This happens inside the TV camera. A picture of what is happening in front of the camera forms on a special screen behind the LENS. Behind the screen is an electron gun. This scans the screen. It moves from left to right to cover each part of the picture. Each part is turned into an electric signal, which is made stronger, then sent to the transmitter. All the signals are broadcast by the transmitter as RADIO WAVES. They are picked up by home TV aerials and changed back into electric signals. These pass into the TV set.

Inside the set is a large glass tube called the cathode ray tube. The screen that you look at is the fron of this tube. The screen is covered with tiny chemical dots. In a colour set, these are arranged in groups of three: one red, one blue, one green. At the back of the tube is another electron gun. This fires a beam of electrons to scan the screen just as the camera gun does. As each electron hits the screen, it lights up a dots. These tiny flashed of colour build up the picture on your screen. You do not see lines of coloured flashing lights, because the electron gun moves too fast for the eye to follow. What you see is a picture of what is happening in the television studio.

Live television programmes show you what is happening as it happens. Most programmes are recorded on film or videotape and sent out later.
