The engineer insisted on experimenting as the best method to solve this problem.
The method of Kurchatov's experimenting usually gave excellent results.
By extending our techniques we can infer the time duration of still faster physical events.
We have found a way of measuring time in smaller pieces (промежутки времени).
On analyzing the distant light of stars scientists could find out what material they were made of.
Studying the results of the experiment took me a week.
The professor insisted on our designing a new type of semiconductor radio set.
Joining P- and N-type silicon a junction diode can be created.
After having applied the theory of negative and positive carriers to the diode we understood its work better.
By increasing the voltage at the terminal we increase the current flow in the diode.
We went on increasing the reverse bias of a diode which lead to its destruction due to excessive current flow.
By attracting the holes in the P-type silicon away from the P-N junction combinations of free electrons and holes can’t be produced.
His considering the effect of connecting battery across the diode gave its results.
Popov’s having developed the principles of radio transmission changed the life of everybody.
