1.Electromagnetic waves can carry more data at higher frequencies. Why would a scientist opt to transmit data at a lower frequen

cy instead?
2.What are the limitations of sending information using electromagnetic waves?

3.What are the differences between analog and digital signals?

4.What are the advantages of using digital signals over analog signals?

5.Using reliable internet sources, identify three ways we use analog and digital signals in our everyday lives.Describe how radio telescopes are used to explore space.

6.How are radio waves used on Earth?

1)The reason as to why scientists opt to transmit data at lower frequency  instead of electromagnetic even if it can carry more data at a higher frequencies is because using higher frequencies of electromagnetic spectrum travel shorter distances but have higher data carrying capacity.So this physical characteristic of electromagnetic waves limits the range and availability of frequencies for sending information.
2) Limitations of using electromagnetic waves in sending communication
communication is a process of transmitting and receiving information in the form of signals.high technology communication use electromagnetic waves,there are various types of electromagnetic waves which are used in communication which include radio-waves,microwaves,infrared  e.t.c some of their limitations are
i)Because there is limited number of broadcast frequencies the use of transmitters must be restricted  in some way or they will seriously interfere with each other.
ii)Through the air signals can be distorted by atmospheric conditions and signals from space are sometimes distorted by solar activity
iii)physical activities such as mountains and buildings can prevent or interfere with some transmissions
iv)Through the air signals are not private,so any tuned receiver within the range can pick up them.
3)Differences between digital and analogue signals
Analogue and digital signal are used to transmit information usually through electric signals.
An analogue signal is continuous wave denoted by sine wave and may varry in signal strength (amplitude) or frequency(time) an example is sound from human voice is analogue because waves are continuous..
A digital signal is a signal in which the original information is converted into a string of bits before being transmitted .example a must for computer processing where is described as using (0s and 1s)and therefore can not take any fractional value.
4)Advantages of using digital signals over analogue signals
one advantage of digital signals are inherently less susceptible than analog signals to interference caused by noise because with digital signal it is not necessary to evaluate precise amplitude,frequency or phase.
Another advantage based in capacity is that digital signals carry more information per second than analogue signals.
Digital signals maintain their quality over long distances better than analogue signals.
5)How we use digital and analogue signals in our everyday live
digital signal processing is the way of life of current generation 
example is mobile phones do alot of digital signal processing .they process our our speech digitally to remove background noise,echo  e.t.c
Television also do a lot of digital processing of video,audio signal to present them in a better way.
How radio telescopes are used to explore space
A radio telescope is a specialized antenna and radio receiver used to receive radio waves from astronomical radio sources in the sky in radio astronomy.It has several main parts, a dish and antenna,a receiver,a detector and an analyzer.The dish collects the radio signals from space ad focuses them on the antenna.
6)How radio waves are used on earth
Radio waves are used to transmit television and radio programs They have longer wave lengths and are reflected by the ionosphere
7) Reasons why telescopes convert radio waves (analog) to electrical(digital) signals for analysis
This is because signals can be easily stored and transmitted in digital form.The analog is continuous in time and it is necessary to convert this to a flow of digital values.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Hard drive

Explanation:

The hard drive is where the operating system, programs and data reside on (unless the data is saved and backed up elsewhere). An older hard drive that uses platters for reading and writing data to it will be slower than a later model solid state device. Newer hard drives have very fast access speeds compared to older units.

Write a method named showChar. The method should accept two arguments: a reference to a String object and an integer. The intege
matrenka [14]

A complete program with the method ShowCar:

import java.util.Scanner; // header file

public class ShowChar

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

String lnOfText;

int i;

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter a line of text:");

lnOfText = input.nextLine();

System.out.print(" Enter your index: ");

i = input.nextInt();

show_Char(lnOfText,i);

}

public static void show_Char(String str_a, int i)

{

System.out.print(str_a.charAt(i));

}

}

In this program, both the inputs ie. a sentence or line of text as well as the index position is obtained. A method is written to find the string at that particular position. Finally the method prints that character at the particular index.

Write a function square_evens(values) that takes a list of integers called values, and that modifies the list so that all of its
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

#create the function

def square_evens(values):

   count_Value = 0

   #loop loop for iteration

   for i in values:

       #check for even number

       if (i) % 2 == 0:

           values[count_Value] = i * i  #store the square in the same index

       count_Value =count_Value + 1

   print(values)  #print the list

# list of integers

values = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

#calling the function

square_evens(values)

Explanation:

The above code is written in python. first, create the function square_evens() which takes one parameter of the list.

inside the function declare the variable and then take a for loop for traversing each element in the list. Inside the for loop, we take the if-else statement for checking the number is even. if the number is even then stored the square of that value in the same list. To store the square value in the same index, we take the count variable for tracking the index.

After the all element in the list checked, the program terminates the loop and then print the updated list on the screen.

Outside the function, create the list with an integer value and then calling the function with passing the list argument.  

NOTE: In the python programming, please keep the indentation in code.
