SHORT ANSWER TYPE (THEORY WITH ANSWERS)

1 Your friend wishes to install a wireless network in his office. Explain him the difference between
guided and unguided media.
Ans Guided media uses cables to connect computers, whereas unguided media uses
waves
2 What are Protocols? Name the protocol used to transfer a file from one device to the other.
Ans Protocols are set of rules that are followed while transmitting data through a computer network.
Protocols determines how to data can be moved securely from a source device to a destination
device. The protocol used for transferring a file from one device to another is the File Transfer
Protocol (FTP)
3 Define communication channel.
Ans A communication channel is the medium through which data is moved from the source to
destination. The communication channel can be either wired or wireless. Wired communication
channel is also called guided medium while wireless communication channel is also called
84
 unguided medium.
4 What do you mean by an IP Address? Give an example for IP Address.
Ans An IP Address is a numerical address that uniquely identifies every device connected to a
network or internet. The user’s physical location can be tracked by using an IP Address. IP V4
(IP Version 4) is a popular version of IP Address. IP Address (in IP V4) consists of four set of
numbers separated by a dot. These numbers can range from 0 to 255.
An example IP Address format is given below: 192.158.12.38
5 Differentiate between Circuit Switching and Packet Switching.
Ans In Circuit Switching a physical connection between the sender and the receiver is set up first.
Then, through that physical link, the complete message is communicated continuously. After
completion of the transmission, the physical connection is terminated. In Packet Switching, the
message is split into small units called packets. Then these packets are passed from source to
destination simultaneously through different routes in the network. As the flow of packets are
asynchronous, sequence numbers are assigned to
each packet to facilitate re-ordering of packets at the destination.
6 Define the following: a. Bandwidth b. Data rate
Ans Bandwidth: It is the range of frequencies that can be carried through a communication channel.
The bandwidth of a channel determines its capacity. It is the difference between the highest and
lowest frequencies that can be carried through the channel. The unit of Bandwidth is Hertz (Hz).

Data transfer rate: It is the amount of data moved through a communication channel per unit
time. The units of Data transfer rate are Bits per second (Bps), Kilobits per second (Kbps) ,
Megabits per second (Mbps) or Gigabits per second (Gbps).
7 Explain the components of data communication.
Ans The components of data communication are: Sender, Receiver, Message, Communication
Medium and Protocols.
Sender: The device which sends data through a network is called sender or source.
Receiver: The device which receives data through a network is called receiver or destination.
Message: The data that is communicated between the source and the destination is called
message.
Communication channel: The medium through which the data is carried from the source to
destination is called a communication medium.
Protocols: The set of rules followed while communicating data over a network are called
Protocols.
8 What are the advantages of Packet switching over Circuit switching.
Ans In Packet Switching the communication channel is utilized completely whenever it is free.
Where as in Circuit Switching, once the connection is assigned for a particular communication,
the entire channel cannot be used for other data transmissions even if the channel is free.
Data packets moves simultaneously through different paths in a Packet Switched network,
making the transmission quick and easy. But in the case of Circuit Switched network, there is a
delay in setting up a physical connection between the source and destination before
communicating the actual message.
Packet Switching is cost effective compared to Circuit Switching as there is no need to set up a
connection between the communicating parties every time before the actual communication.
9 Explain why Circuit Switching is not cost effective compared to Packet Switching?
Ans The Circuit Switching is not cost effective like Packet Switching because, in Circuit Switching,
every time there is a need to set up a connection between the sender and the receiver before
communicating the message.
10 Explain how an IP Address become helpful in investigating cyber-crimes.
Ans IP address can be used to trace the physical location of a user connected to a network. By this
many cyber crime can be investigated and traced out efficiently tracking the exact location from
where the cybercrime is carried out.
11 Why Protocols are needed in the case of Data Communication?
85
Ans The communicating devices may be in different geographical areas. The speed of these devices
may be different. Also, the data transfer rates of different networks may be different. These
complexities make it necessary to have a common set of rules i.e., Protocols to ensure the secure
communication of data
12 What is the difference between World Wide Web & Internet?
Ans Internet means interconnected networks that spread all over the world (i.e. the physical
infrastructure), while WWW means the information’s (available in the form of webpages) that
can be accessed through internet.
13 What is a protocol, give some examples?
Ans Protocols are set of rules that are followed while transmitting data through a computer network.
Protocols determines how to data can be moved securely from a source device to a destination
device. The protocol used for transferring a file from one device to another is the File Transfer
Protocol (FTP)

14 What is the difference between E-mail and chat?

Ans In order to chat, you need to have an account on the same service as the person you are chatting
with. e.g. on the other hand, in case of E-mail, it is not necessary, i.e. you can have an account
from any provider and you can establish your own.
15 What are cookies?
Ans Cookies are files stored temporarily on www browser’s computer, which allow the www server
to store persistent information associated with browsing user on user’s system.
16 What is the difference between domain name and IP address?
Ans IP addresses look like this: 192.168.12.134.
Domain names look like this: “www.google.com”
Domain names are easier for us to remember and use, while computers are quite handy with
numbers. Thus, we use DNS (Domain Naming System) to translate domain names into the IP
addresses.
IP address is a unique identifier for a computer or device on internet. A domain name (website
name) is a name that identifies one or more IP addresses (when hosted at different servers for
load balancing).
17 Give one suitable example of each URL and domain name?
Ans URL: https://kvsangathan.nic.in/hq-gyan-kosh
Domain name: kvsangathan.nic.in
18 Differentiate between XML and HTML.
Ans XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is. HTML was designed to display
data and to focus on how data looks.
HTML is about displaying information while XML is about describing information.
19 Distinguish between website and web browser.
Ans Website:- It is a collection of inter-linked web pages stored in a server.
Web Browser:- It is a software application for retrieving, presenting and traversing through
information resources in the form of web pages available on the World Wide Web.
20 Differentiate between the terms Domain Name and URL in context of web services. Also write
one example of each to illustrate the difference.
Ans
Domain Name URL
A domain name or website name URL is a string that represents the complete web
is a human-friendly text form of address of any web page. It’s used to locate a
the IP address. webpage.
It is the part of the URL that is It is the string that represents a complete web

For communication between browser and server HTTP and HTTPS protocols are used. We can use
TELNET to access services available on a remote computer.
5. b) HTTPS
6. Web-Client: An application that requests for services from a webserver.
Example:Web Browsers, Chatting Applications
Web-Server: Web-server is a software (or any dedicated computer running this software) that
serves the request made by web-clients. Example: Apache Server.
7. Cc : Carbon Copy: every recipient can check who else has received the mail.
Bcc : Blind Carbon Copy: no recipient can check who else has received the mail.
8. The Internet is a worldwide network that links many smaller computer-networks.
Uses of the Internet 1. E-learning 2. E-commerce
The difference between the internet and www:
Internet means interconnected networks that spread all over the world (i.e. the physical
infrastructure), while WWW means the information’s (available in the form of webpages) that can be
accessed through internet.
9. Web Browser
10. Server
11. A website is a collection of interlinked webpages.
12. Web Browsers
13. Role of server is to serve various clients (sharing data or resources among multipleclients)
14. (b) (i) and (iv)
15. (c) Mark-up Languages

16. (a) User defined tags
17. (b) present the data
18. (d) Video Conferencing
19. Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiableinformation
(such as your name, home address, email address, or telephone number). Cookies often
store your settings for a website, such as your preferred language orlocation. When you
return to the site, browser sends back the cookies that belong to the site. This allows the site
to present you with information customized to fit your needs.
20. (a) .com - commercial
(b) .org - organization
21. XML tags are created by the user as there are no standard tags. Ex
: <name>Nayana<name>
22. The process of converting domain names (website names) into corresponding IPaddress
with the help of DNS servers is called domain name resolution.
23. (d) XML,HTML
24. (d) Photoshop
25. HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
26. Google Chrome or any other valid browser name
27. (B) Extensible Markup Language
28. (D) FTP
29. Web Server
30 a. Most suitable place to install the server is HR center, as this center has maximumnumber of
computers.
b.

c. Switch
95
 d. Repeater may be placed when the distance between 2 buildings is more than 70 meter.
e. WAN, as the given distance is more than the range of LAN and MAN.

TEST YOURSELF: PART I

1. Advantage: Since there is a single common data path connecting all the nodes, thebus topology
uses a very short cable length which considerably reduces the installation cost.
Disadvantage: Fault detection and isolation is difficult. This is because control of the network is
not centralized in any particular node. If a node is faulty on the bus, detection of fault may have to
be performed at many points on the network. The faulty node has then to be rectified at that
connection point.
2. (i). failure in one cable will not affect the entire network
(ii). If the central hub or switch goes down, then all the connected nodes will not be able to
communicate with each other.
3. PAN
4. i. Star Topology should be used.

ii) As per 80 – 20 rule, SalesDept because it has maximum no. of computers.

iii) Each building should have hub/switch and Modem in case Internet connection is required.
iv) MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

5. VoIP

6. HTTP is a protocol that is used for transferring hypertext(i.e. text, graphic, image,
sound, video, etc,) between 2 computers and is particularly used on the World Wide
Web (WWW)
7.
(i) Network Interface Card (NIC) is a network adapter used to set up a wired
network. Itacts as an interface between computer and the network.
(ii) A repeater is a device that amplifies a signal being transmitted on the network.

 TEST YOURSELF: PART II

1. LAN
2. a.Star Topology
b.Bus Topology
3. It is an IP Address. It is used to identify the computers on a network
4. MAN
5. (i)

(ii) The most suitable place/ building to house the server of this organization would be building
Research Lab, as this building contains the maximum number of computers
(iii). a)Repeater : distance between Store to Research Lab is quite large, so a repeater would
ideally be placed.
b)Hub/Switch : Each would be needed in all the buildings to interconnect the group of
cables from the different computers in each building.
