Answer:

For storing the data into a CD, we need to burn it. And the surface of the CD is comprised of the polycarbonate layer that is molded as the spiral tracks over the surface of the CD. And the Data is being stored as a sequence of minute grooves that are called the pits which are encoded on the spiral tracks. And the region in between the pits is known as lands.

The DVD or the digital video dos is based on the optical data storage which is almost the same as the CD. The analog data is transformed into the digital data, and this is encoded on the disc starting from the inside edge, and towards out. This digital information is being encoded into the surface as pits, and the surface acts as the recording layer. A DVD can hold data up to 4.77 to 8 GB.

Since DVD size is bigger than CD, A DVD drive can read CD, but the CD drive cannot read the DVD,

And unlike the above two, which make use of the red laser for reading and writing, the blu ray makes use of the blue laser. Also, it has the smaller pits, tiny beam as well as small track that together make it possible to store around 25 GB of data in one single blue ray disc. And this is five times more than the size of a DVD.  

The Blu ray Discs are good for playing the CD as well as DVD. However, the opposite is not possible due to the size.

A certain computer can be equipped with 268,435,456 bytes of memory. Why would a manufacturer choose such a peculiar number inst
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Computer system use Binary and it uses power of 2 only.

Explanation:

The reasons for equipping memory with a peculiar number instead of round or even number are as follows:

  • The computer system uses the power of 2 instead of the power of 10 to equipping memory and hence use a number like 250,000,000 is not possible.
  • The computer systems work on the memory where 1 MB or 1 megabyte shows as 1024 kb or 1,048,576 bytes.
  • In computer system memory capacity is always some multiply of 1024 bytes.
  • Hence, 268,435,456 bytes of memory shows 256 MB of memory.
