LENZ'S LAW

The current induced in a circuit, caused by its motion in a magnetic field or a change in it's magnetic flux, in such a direction as to exert a mechanical force opposing the motion or to oppose the change in flux [2].

LIGHT RAYS

Light waves emitting from a source in straight lines [10].

LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE

A PN-junction diode that emits visible light when it is forward biased. Depending on the material used to make the diode, the light may be red, green, or amber [7].

LIGHTHOUSE TUBE

An electron tube shaped like a lighthouse that is designed to handle large amounts of power at uhf frequencies [6].

LIMITER

A device that prevents (limits) a waveform from exceeding a specified value [9].

LIN-LOG AMPLIFIER

An amplifier in which the response is linear for weak signals and logarithmic for
large signals [18].

LINE OF FORCE

A line in an electric or magnetic field that shows the direction of the force [1].

LINE OF SIGHT

Straight line from a radar antenna to a target [18].

LINE-PULSING MODULATOR

Circuit that stores energy and forms pulses in the same circuit element,
usually the pulse-forming network (pfn) [18].

LINEAR

Having an output that varies in direct proportion to the input [6].
