Correct Answer : Option (B) - laser beam

Data is stored on the disc as a series of microscopic indentations. A laser is shone onto the reflective surface of the disc to read the pattern of pits and lands. Because the depth of the pits is approximately one-quarter to one-sixth of the wavelength of the laser light used to read the disc, the reflected beam's phase is shifted in relation to the incoming beam, causing destructive interference and reducing the reflected beam's intensity. This pattern of changing intensity of the reflected beam is converted into binary data.

Correct Answer : Option (D) - Storage

In a computer, storage is the place where data is held in an electromagnetic or optical form for access by a computer processor. It is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. It is a core function and fundamental component of computers.

Correct Answer : Option (C) - Printer

A parallel port can be used to connect a large number of devices. The most common usage was for printers, although scanners, external disk drives, and network adapters also used this port. With a special cable, two computers could also be connected directly for sharing files.

Correct Answer : Option (B) - Psychology

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization and analysis of information in tabular form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array is a model–view–controller element that can contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells. It is more useful in Statistics.

Correct Answer : Option (A) - Charles Babbage

Charles Babbage, was an English mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer who originated the concept of the programmable computer. Considered as “father of the computer”, Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex designs.

Correct Answer : Option (C) - can process small data processing jobs, with the use of a large CPU

An Intelligent terminal is A terminal with built-in processing capability, but no local disk or tape storage. It may use a general-purpose CPU or may have specialized circuitry as part of a distributed intelligence system. Intelligent terminals include memory and a processor to perform special display operations.

Correct Answer : Option (D) - Integrated Circuits

IC, or An integrated circuit is a small wafer, usually made of silicon, that can hold anywhere from hundreds to millions of transistors, resistors, and capacitors. These extremely small electronics can perform calculations and store data using either digital or analog technology.

Correct Answer : Option (A) - Flashing of the text of news and information on the TV screen.

Teletext is a Data broadcasting service in which pre-programmed sequences of frames of data are broadcast cyclically, and a user, equipped with a standard television receiver and a special decoder, selects the desired frames for viewing.

Correct Answer : Option (B) - Ray Tomlinson

Ray Tomlinson is credited with developing the first viable e-mail program in 1971 for use on the ARPANET. Although text messages were occasionally sent over the network, Tomlinson created the first program. it is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. Modern email operates across the Internet or other computer networks. Some early email systems required that the author and the recipient both be online at the same time, in common with instant messaging. Today’s email systems are based on a store-and-forward model.

Correct Answer : Option (D) - Flip-Flop

A flip-flop is a circuit that has two stable states and can be used to store state information. The circuit can be made to change state by signals applied to one or more control inputs and will have one or two outputs. It is the basic storage element in sequential logic. Flip-flops and latches are a fundamental building block of digital electronics systems used in computers, communications, and many other types of systems.
