Part 1: Many phone companies are replacing the wire in their phone systems with fiber optic
cable. Name at least two advantages they expect to gain from doing so. In one paragraph each,
describe why fiber optic cable gives each advantage.
Part 2: Explain the difference between an amplifier and a repeater for transmitting data over
distances. In your answer, tell why repeaters are preferred for digital data.
Part 3: Explain why a hardware timer that can generate interrupts is necessary to support
concurrent processing.
Part 4: Explain why a graphical or window-based operating system interface is more readily
amenable to running multiple tasks than is a command line interface.
Part 5: What is the spectrum of a signal? What is the relationship between the spectrum of a
signal and the bandwidth of a channel? (Use the textbook; you'll likely get a wrong answer from
a web search!)
Part 6: Name and briefly describe the three characteristics of a sine wave signal that can be
modulated to allow the signal to carry information.
Part 7: Explain how frequency division multiplexing can be used to carry two or more
independent information streams on one communication medium.
Part 8: A modern CPU has a bit that can place the CPU in the system state or the application
state. Briefly describe the difference between "system state" and "application state."
Part 9: What does it mean to "mount" or "unmount" a storage device? Explain why
unmounting a device is necessary in the Windows operating system.
Part 10: Explain what it means to bootstrap a computer. In your answer, describe the steps
executed by the hardware and software in bootstrapping a computer that is initially turned off.
Solution
Part 1:
Due to much lower attenuation and interference, provides long distance, Fiber optic signals are
stronger.These are much thinner and lighter than metal wires.Data can be transmitted digitally.It
has less susceptible to interference.
Part 2:
An amplifier can not discriminate between the intended signal and noise,it amplifies equally
everything fed into it.A repeater does not amplify the signal.It regenerates the signal.When it
receives a weakened or corrupted signal,it creates a copy,bit for bit at the original strength. A
repeater is a regenerator.
Using the large number of amplifiers over a long, lossy link inevitablyincreases the noise and
decreases the signal to noise levels.A repeater is usually a receiver followed by a regenerating
logic and transmitter.In this case regeneration receives the digital signals and retimes it to
remove jitter and then retransmits it with minimal baseband noise.
Part 4:
Graphical User Interface uses graphics along with a keyboard and mouse,to provide an easy to
use interface to a program.It provides windows,pulldown menus,buttons,scrollbars,iconic
images,wizards and other icons and the mouse to enable the users to interact with the operating
system. users easy to control,manipulate and toggle through multiple programs and folders at
same time. Using Command Line Interface, it do not offer the same ease and ability to view
multiple things at once on one screen.
part 9:
The mount command mounts a storage device or file system, making it accssible and attaching it
to an existing directory structure.The unmount command unmounts a mounted file
system,incoming the file system,informing the system to complete any pending read or write
operations and safely detaching it.
Part 10:
Bootstraping is the process of loading the basic software into the memory of a computer after
power on or general reset. generally the operating system which will then take care of loading
other software as needed. In computers pressing a bootstrap button caused a hardwired program
to read a bootstrap program from an input unit.
