These are display panels that use small cells containing electrically charged ionized gases to generate high quality imagery.
- A.
Plasma
- B.
Liquid Crystal Display
- C.
LED Panel
- D.
CRT
Correct Answer
A. PlasmaExplanation
Plasma display panels use small cells containing electrically charged ionized gases to generate high-quality imagery. These cells are filled with a mixture of noble gases such as neon and xenon. When an electric current is applied to the cells, the gas inside them is ionized, causing it to emit ultraviolet light. This ultraviolet light then excites phosphors on the screen, which emit visible light, creating the image. Plasma displays were popular for their deep black levels, wide viewing angles, and fast response times. However, they have been largely replaced by LCD and LED panels due to their higher energy consumption and shorter lifespan.Rate this question:

A radio signal processing technique that creates new frequencies by combining or mixing two frequencies.
- A.
Television
- B.
Persistence of vision
- C.
Broadcast
- D.
Heterodyning
Correct Answer
D. HeterodyningExplanation
Heterodyning is a radio signal processing technique that combines or mixes two frequencies to create new frequencies. This technique is commonly used in radio communication and broadcasting systems to convert incoming signals to a fixed intermediate frequency for easier processing and amplification. By mixing the original frequencies, heterodyning allows for the extraction of useful information from the signals and enables efficient transmission and reception of radio signals.Rate this question:

Heterodyning
Correct Answer
A. TelevisionExplanation
Television refers to the transmission and reception of moving images and sound over a distance. It allows people to see and hear events that are happening far away from their current location. This technology utilizes the concept of persistence of vision, which is the ability of the human eye to retain an image for a brief moment after it has disappeared. Through the process of broadcasting, television signals are sent out and received by antennas, allowing viewers to watch programs on their televisions. Heterodyning is a technique used in television to combine different frequencies and create a new frequency for transmission.Rate this question:

The process of superimposing low frequency signal to a high level frequency is called
- A.
Baseband
- B.
Bandwidth
- C.
Modulaton
- D.
Heterodyning
Correct Answer
C. ModulatonExplanation
Modulation is the process of superimposing a low frequency signal onto a high-frequency carrier signal. This is done to transfer information over long distances efficiently. By varying the characteristics of the carrier signal, such as amplitude, frequency, or phase, the low-frequency signal can be encoded and transmitted. Modulation is widely used in various communication systems, including radio, television, and telecommunications.Rate this question:

- A.
Baseband
- B.
Bandwidth
- C.
Modulaton
- D.
Heterodyning
Correct Answer
B. BandwidthExplanation
Bandwidth is the correct answer because it refers to the amount of frequency space that a signal occupies. It is important for the effective transfer of information carried by the signal. In other words, bandwidth determines the range of frequencies that can be used to transmit data or signals. A wider bandwidth allows for more information to be transmitted, while a narrower bandwidth restricts the amount of information that can be carried. Therefore, understanding and managing the bandwidth is crucial in ensuring efficient communication and data transfer.Rate this question:

- A.
Baseband
- B.
Bandwidth
- C.
Modulaton
- D.
Heterodyning
Correct Answer
A. BasebandExplanation
Baseband refers to a type of signal that carries the original information without any modulation or frequency shifting. It is a video or audio signal that can be directly used to reproduce the picture and sound without any further processing. This means that the signal is in its original form and does not require any additional modulation or conversion to be played or displayed. Therefore, baseband is the correct answer in this context.Rate this question:
