DAV Class 8 Computer Chapter 1 To 6 Notes
(5) Modem is the device which are used for data transfer from one
computer network to another computer network through telephone lines.
(6) Internet is a global (wide area) network connecting millions of
computers.
(Q2) State whether the following statements are True or False :-
(1)The abbreviation of MoDem is Modulation and Demodulation. True
(2) Router is the device which is used in networking that helps in jointing
the more than one networks together. True
(3) A wireless network is a network which uses networking cables to

(4) Bluetooth is the wireless technology which uses radio frequencies to
transmit information over a short distances. True
(5) Radio waves are the electromagnetic signals that are transmitted by an
antenna. True
(Q3) Match the following Column A with Column B :-
Column A Column B Answers
Sr. No
In this network, networking
cables are been used for
Uses radio waves (RF) to connecting the devices like
allows two or more devices (computers, printers,
to communicate with one scanners) etc
1) Wired Network another
(b) MAN :- MAN stands for Metropolitan Area Network that is established in
a metropolitan area such as city or tow. A MAN typically includes one or
more LAN but covers a smaller area than a WAN. Telephone companies,
cable television operators, and other organizations makes use of MAN
network.
(c) WAN :- The abbreviation of WAN is Wide Area Network which means
this network is used to connect the computers to each other who located at
a very far distance say globally. The data/information can be
exchanged/transferred to each other (computers connected into a network)
all over the world. In WAN connection the computers are connected to each
other with the help of cables, telephone lines, fibre optics, microwaves or
satellites. Connecting the computers in WAN network is a very difficult task,
as there can be a probability of faults or short circuits arises if in case the
wires/cables breaks down. As compared to other networks the speed is very
low. Internet can be the perfect example of WAN.
(2) What do you understand by Wi-Fi
Ans :- It is the wireless technology, which is used for connecting to the
internet within one room, building, hotel, hospital, schools or offices etc.
The abbreviation of Wi-Fi is Wireless Fidelity which makes uses of radio
waves and allows one or more than two devices to connect with each other.
Such type of technology helps in connecting the devices like Smartphones,
Computers, tablets etc to the internet. We should always make our Wi-Fi
connection secured from the accessing of unauthorized users which should
be protected by the password.
(3) Write the types of Internet services in brief
Ans :- Some types of internet services are as followed :-
(a) Dial up :- This service clearly states the slowest type of Internet
connection and can be used only in the areas where the internet service is
needed. Internet cannot be used at the same time when the dial is used
along with the phone line termed as telephone line.
(b) DSL :- Nowadays, Broadband connections by the DSL services for the
faster speed as compared to Dial up service. DSL also gets connected to the
internet with the help of phone line and the phone line and the internet can
be used at the same time. Not like the Dial up.
(c) Cable :-
This service is much easier in connecting the Internet with the Cable TV. As
comparison is made between the both i.e is Dial up and DSL, cable service
makes use of the broad band connection, which is much faster than these
both services.
(d) Satellite :- In this type service, broad band connection is used which
does not need
any cables or phone lines. In such type of services broad band gets
connected to the internet through the man-made satellite which is orbiting
the earth. Such connection are widely used around the world but can be
affected/disturbed according to the weather or climatic changes. These
connections are slower than the DSL or cable.
(3) 3G and 4G :- This service is mostly used in the devices such as mobile
phone, tablets etc and gets connected to it with the help of ISP’s network.
As the comparison is made between the Cable or DSL and 3G and 4G
services, such service’s connection is very slow than Cable or DSL. 3G and
4G services are nowadays popularly used.
(4) What do you mean by Twisted Pair cables, Coaxial cables, Fiber
optic cables? Write down their advantages and disadvantages.
Ans:- The different types of cables are Twisted Pair, Coaxial cable and Fiber
Optic cables etc are explained below along with their advantages and
disadvantages
Twisted Pair Cables :- Shielded and Unshielded are the two types of
twisted pair cables which are used for networking. Such type of cable is
used for connecting the two network devices (computer, switches etc)
directly. Ethernet cable is the perfect example of Twisted Pair cables.
o This cables transfers the data at a very high speed and is much cheaper.
o This cables makes less use of electricity.
o This cable is very simple to use or install.
Coaxial Cables :- The coaxial cable is the central copper wire which is
been covered by the outer jacket. It is widely used by the Cable television
companies in connecting the Television set with the antenna.
o This cables are no much costly and carries the data over the long distance
more easily.
o This cable has noisy immune due to its thick outer covering.
o Such cables are light in weight, and easy and flexible to work with.
o As compared to the Twisted pair cables, this cables are more cable of
interference and attenuation in the terms of loss in the strength of the
signal.
o This cables are consisting of copper metal wire which is easily breakable.
o Some of the coaxial cables are so thick, which cannot bend properly /easily
and results difficulty in installation and maintainance.
Fiber Optic Cables :- This cable makes use of glass thread (fibers) for
data transfer. Each of the glass threads of the cable is much capable of
transferring of data (messages) in the form of light waves. As this cable is
made up of glass, such cable is bendable.
(5) Name the devices which are required for connecting different
devices in a network?
Ans :- The devices which are required for connecting the different devices
in a network are as follows :-
(a) Cables :- For connecting the computers and other devices in a
networks, the cables such as flexible metal or fibre optic wires are been
made use of.
(b) Network Interface Card (NIC) :- You can easily connect the connect
the computer to the network as Network Interface Card (NIC) is
placed/installed on the mother board inside the system unit. It can be
added for each client and server computers. NIC is also known as Printed
Circuit Board (PCB). There are two kinds of Network Interface Card (NIC)
which are:-
(6) State the difference between the Container tags and Empty
Tags
Ans :- The difference between the Container tags and Empty Tags are as :-
