describe the energy transformations required in the following

Fax/Modem
Radio And Television

thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
not sure how complex to go(what grade are you in). basically
electrical to mechanical
electromagnetic-electrical-sound there is probably more but you get the jist.
 
currently year 11,
 
i just don't understand the energy transformations of the fax/modem
 
the fax is first off mechanical (moving cmpts) then to electrical then depending on the fax some sort of signal energy then back to mechanical. the modem is the same as the last part of the fax, I am assuming you haven't done any signal processing in yr 11. That is all your teacher would want.
