MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -In short, the transmission of data wirelessly is made possible by the manipulation of radio waves. These waves are generated naturally by generating pulses of electricity. These radio waves can then be modified by their amplitude or frequency in order to transmit sound or data.

Detailed explanation-2: -Radio waves are used for wireless transmission of sound messages, or information, for communication, as well as for maritime and aircraft navigation. The information is imposed on the electromagnetic carrier wave as amplitude modulation (AM) or as frequency modulation (FM) or in digital form (pulse modulation).

Detailed explanation-3: -The basic principle is simple. At one end, a transmitter “encodes” or modulates messages by varying the amplitude or frequency of the wave – a bit like Morse code. At the other, a receiver tuned to the same wavelength picks up the signal and ‘decodes’ it back to the desired form: sounds, images, data, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the radio waves reach a receiver, the signal is converted back into the information that was originally sent by the transmitter. When you talk on a cell phone, your cell phone acts as a transmitter and your voice is carried on radio waves to the person you are calling.

Detailed explanation-5: -Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transmit data from your wireless router to your Wi-Fi enabled devices like your TV, smartphone, tablet and computer. Because they communicate with each other over airwaves, your devices and personal information can become vulnerable to hackers, cyber-attacks and other threats.
