It provides a set top box that connects to the television and the telephone line. The web TV network was bought by Microsoft in 1997.

Vladimir Kosmich Zworykin


Vladimir Kosmich was a Russian-American inventor. He was a pioneer of television technology. In 1923, he invented the iconoscope, which was a tube for television transmission. He invented the cathode ray tube, called the kinescope, in 1929. The kinescope is used for transmission in televisions. Zworykin was also instrumental in the development of charge storage-type tubes, infrared image tubes, and the electron microscope.

John Logie Baird


John Logie Baird was a Scottish engineer and entrepreneur. He was the first to conceive the idea of electronic television. Using a mechanical television, Baird carried out the first transmission: of objects in motion in 1924. He held his first public demonstration of television in London in March 1925. He also demonstrated the first colour television m 1928. Baird s trans-Atlantic transmission of the image of a human face in 1928 is an important milestone in the history of broadcasting.

He is the inventor of the first complete electronic television system. He was the first person to make a working electronic image pickup device or the video camera tube and to transmit sign images using cathode ray tubes in 1927.

Liquid crystal display (LCD)


Liquid crystal display (LCD) ‘ televisions use LCD technology for their visual output. LCD televisions are low-power flat-panel display televisions made up of liquid crystals. There are various types of LCD televisions. Some LCD can also be used as computer monitors.


High-definition television


High-definition television (HDTV) is a digital television broadcasting system. It has a high resolution and is broadcast digitally. It was introduced in the 19903. in the United States.


Internet protocol television


Internet protocol television (IPTV) uses Internet protocol over a network infrastructure. It does not use cables or traditional broadcast formats but the viewer receives it through the computer network infrastructure.

Microscope A microscope is an optical instrument that is used to view objects that are invisible to the naked eye.Microscope use a combination of the images of very small objects. The first microscope were known as 'flea glasses' as they were used to view fleas or tiny creeping things.These microscope were simple tubes with a plate  and a lens at the ends.they magnified the image to more than 10 times the actual size. The first microscope the art of grinding glasses and making spectacles was known to people since the 14th century.the first microscope was made by Hans and Zacharias Jansen of the Netherlands in 1590.Hans and Zacharias Jansen were lens maker they made a microscope by placing two lenses in a tube Microscopy Microscopy is the science of examining small objects using microscope.the three branches of microscopy are optical microscopy,electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy. Robert Hooke Robert Hooke was a British scientist. he lived i...

Solar System The solar system is a group of celestial objects located in the Milky  Way Galaxy. it is made up of eight planets. namely Mercury. Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, their moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, meteoroirls. and several other smaller celestial bodies. Astronomers believe that the solar system is around 4.5 billion years old. The solar system is about 25,000 light years from the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. it is elliptical in shape and has the Sun at its centre. The solar system is always in motion. All the planets and celestial bodies move around the Sun in elliptical paths.  Sun   The Sun is a huge, glowing star. It is the largest and the most important object in the solar system.The Sun is composed of hydrogen, helium, and other heavier elements. It contains 99.8 per cent of the Solar system’s mass and is the main source of light and heat on Earth.  Planets   A planet is a ce...

Metals And Non-Metals | Fact & Information

-
Image
Metals and Non-metals Elements can be grouped into two broad categories-metals and non-metals. Metals are elements that are Opaque, lustrous, and good conductors of heat and electricity. lron, gold, and silver are common metals. Non-metals are elements that cannot conduct electricity or heat very well. Examples of non-metals are oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. Only 18 elements in the periodic table are generally considered non-metals while there are over 80 metals. Properties of metals ° Metals have lustre. They are shiny when cut, scratched, or polished. ° They are malleable, that is, they can be hammered into thin sheets without breaking. ° They are good conductors of electricity and heat. ° They are ductile, that is, they can be melted and drawn into thin wires. ° All metals except mercury are solid at room temperature. ° Most metals have high melting points. Properties of non-metals ° Non-metals have no lustre, that is, they have a dull appearance. ° Th...
