UNIT 12
 Lesson A: Describing Sound and light
 Lesson B: Understanding Lasers
 Lesson C: Phrasal verbs
OBJECTIVE

Students will …
 learn making description of sound and light

measurements
 read about How lasers work and their pros and

cons
 listen to note, text and conversation to complete

 review the adjective suffixes -ible or –able and

use of Phrasal verbs

LESSON A: DESCRIBING LIGHT AND SOUND
 Wavelength is the
distance between the
top of one wave and
the top of the next
wave

 Frequency is the
number of waves
emitted per second
VISIBLE LIGHT
LESSON B: UNDERSTANDING LASERS

What are some uses of lasers?

Lasers are used in CD and DVD players to translate the

digital information on the disk into sound and images for
example in laser printers, barcode scanners, DNA
sequencing instruments, fiber-optic, semiconducting chip
manufacturing (photolithography), and free-space optical
communication, laser surgery and skin treatments, cutting
and welding materials, military and law enforcement
devices.
LASERS ARE USED:
 in eye surgery

 in cutting

 in welding
Advantages of laser
welding
-Focused to deliver enough heat
to melt steel
-Requires single sided access
-Reduce part distortion
-Almost invisible
-A smaller flange width
Disadvantages of laser
welding
- Using robot is expensive
- Equipment costs a lot of
money
- Car parts have to be designed
for it
- Low tolerances
- Manufacture need precise
LESSON C: PHRASAL VERBS
 What are Phrasal verbs?
In English a phrasal verb is the combining of two
or three words from different grammatical
categories — a verb and a particle, such as an 
adverb or a preposition — to form a single
semantic unit on a lexical or syntactic level.
REVIEW

1.What is wavelength?
