    D. Answer the following questions:

    [True]

    1. How does TCP/IP protocol help in transmitting of data in internet?


    Ans. Sending and receiving of data over the internet is based on certain rules. These rules are
    generally implemented in two parts in the network software and are called Transmission Control
    Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP). They are collectively called TCP/IP. For sending
    large block of data to another computer, IP protocol divides the data into small data packets. The
    packet also contains special information like packet position and Error Correction Code (ECC)
    the address of the source and destination computer, to make sure that packets at the destination
    can be reassembled correctly. The reassembling of the data packets in the destination computer
    is done by the TCP protocol.

    2. What is an Intranet?
    Ans. An Intranet is a local or restricted communications network, especially a private network
    created over the Internet.
    3. What are the different types of transmission media used in a network?
    Ans. The different types of transmission media are:
    1. Guided (Wired) Media

    2. Unguided (Wireless) Media

    4. What is an optical fibre? What are its different components?


    Ans. Optical Media is a guided media of transmission made of glass material through which data in
    the form of light is used for transmission using the principal of Total Internal Reflection.
    5. Write a short note on Radio Waves.
    Ans. Radio waves is a form of wireless transmission of data that have a frequency ranging from 3 KHz
    to 3GHz. It is used for communication over short distances like from a few meters (as in walkietalkies) up to covering an entire city. It is easier to generate these waves and can travel long
    distances and is able to penetrate buildings easily. This makes it widely used in both indoor and
    outdoor communication.
    6. Why are satellite links used even though it is expensive?
    Ans. Satellite links though expensive covers a huge distance thereby compensating for the
    expenses, which would perhaps been much more if the transmission used was wired. Thus
    communication satellites are generally owned by governments or by government approved
    organizations of various countries.
    7. State the difference between a Hub and Switch.
    Ans. A switch is like a hub, but works in a slightly different way than the hub. A hub simply replicates
    the data it receives from one port to all other ports (called broadcasting). The intended/
    destination computer receives the data, but the other computers rejects it. The switch on the
    other hand receives a data from a port and forwards it only to that computer for which it is
    intended by looking at the MAC address of that machine.
    8. What is repeater used for?
    Ans. For long distance transmission of data in a network the transmitted signal may get weakened
    after a certain distance. In such situations repeaters are used. Repeaters are devices which is used
    to amplify the signal which is being transmitted. This ensures the signal do not get lost over long
    distance transmission.
    9. Explain the working of a modem.
    Ans. A modem is used to convert digital signal to analog (called modulation) for transmission
    through the telephone network. At the receiving end the analog signal needs to be converted
    to digital (called demodulation) from the computer to recognize it, which is also done by the
    modem.
    10. What is Interspace?
    Ans. Interspace is a software program that allows multiple users to communicate online with realtime audio, video and text chat in dynamic 3D environments.
