Questions and Answers

What distinguishes an analog wave from a digital wave?

  • Analog waves have fixed amplitude and frequency, while digital waves have continuously varying characteristics.
  • Analog waves can only be used for voice transmission, while digital waves are versatile for all types of data.
  • Analog waves have continuously varying amplitude and time, while digital waves have discrete states. (correct)
  • Analog waves are unidirectional, while digital waves can flow bidirectionally.

Which statement accurately describes a digital wave?

  • Digital waves have fixed amplitude but variable pulse width and frequency. (correct)
  • Digital waves have continuously varying amplitude and frequency.
  • Digital waves can only transmit human voice and music.
  • Digital waves are always unidirectional in nature.

In the context of networking media, what is the defining characteristic of wired or bounded media?

  • They are not limited by physical geography.
  • They transmit data without the use of any cables.
  • They leverage electrical or electromagnetic signals for data transmission.
  • They use cables as the physical path for transmitting data. (correct)
