B)Long-answer question.

1.      How did Internet come into existence?

Ans.:- In 1969, the Department of Defence(DOD) of United States of America started a network called Advanced Research Projects Agency Network(ARPANET). It was started with one computer in California and three in Utah. Later, the military allowed universities to join the network for sharing the hardware and software resources. It grew bigger and bigger and gave birth to the present-day very popular Internet.

2.      What is a modem? Explain how it works?

Ans.:- Modem is a computer peripheral divice that allows us to connect and communicate with other computer via telephone lines. It converts the digital data into analog data and vice-versa. The fullform of Modem is Modulation and Demodulation. The process of converting  digital data into analog data is called Modulation. And The process of converting analog data into digital data is called Demodulation.

There are two type of Modem-

·                   Internal Modem

·                   External Modem

Internal Modem: Internal Modem is a Modem which is placed inside the CPU.

External Modem:  External Modem is a Modem which is placed outside the  CPU.

6. Explain the letter addressing system.
Ans:- The web address of any computer or network can be given using alphabets. This is called the letter addressing system and it is popularly known as the Domain Name System(DNS).

7. What are Web addresses?
Ans:- The Internet has millions of computers attached to it. In order to communicate, every computer connected to the Internet has a unique address whose format is defined by the Internet Protocol(IP) addressing system. Every computer connected to the internet has its unique web address, without which it cannot be reached by other computers. Also called universal resource locator or Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
8. What is the number addressing system?
Ans:- Every TCP/IP network requires a unique network number, and every host on a TCP/IP network requires a unique IP address. The number addressing system takes care of this. A numeric or IP address comprises four numbers, each less than 256, joined together. An IP address is a 32-bit number that uniquely identifies a network interface on a machine. IP addresses are written in decimal digits, formatted as four 8-bit fields, separated by periods. Each 8-bit field represents a byte of the IP address. The byte ranges from 0 to 255.
9. How does the Internet work?
Ans:-

 

When data is passed from one computer system to another, it is broken up into pieces called packets using TCP. Each packet contains 1500 bytes or characters. IP adds the IP address of the sender and the destination to each packet so that it reaches the correct destination. The packets are passed from one network to another until they reach their destination. At the destination, TCP reassembles the packets into a complete message. If packets are garbled, a request is sent to the sender to resend them.

10.  Explain any three methods of Internet access.

Ans:- The methods are:-

a)Dial-up:- It is a connection between the computer and the ISP with the help of a modem. Dial-up connection is a limited time-duration connection that uses a telephone line to connect to the ISP server.

b)ISDN:- ISDN lines are used to transmit data over digital telephone lines.

c)Broadband Service:- Broadband Internet access, often shortened to broadband, is a high-data-transmission rate Internet connection.
