02 - Input and Output Devices

 1. An input is data that a computer receives. An output is data that a computer sends.

  TRUE

  FALSE

 2. Read the excerpt below on the nature of input and see if you agree. 
Computers only work with digital information. Any input that a computer receives must be digitised.

Often data has to be converted back to an analogue format when it's output, for example the sound from a computer's speakers

  FALSE

  TRUE

 3. A monitor is an input device

  FALSE

  TRUE

 4. Trackballs, Barcode readers, Joysticks, MIDI keyboards are all….

  output devices

  All of the above

  storage devices

  input devices

 5. Touch screens are…

  output devices

  Magnetic touch storage devices

  Both input and output devices

  input devices

 6. An input device is part of the central processing unit.

  TRUE

  FALSE

 7. Read the following excerpt and select from the correct answer from the options. 
Which of the following are input devices:
=========================================
1. Keyboard
2. Monitor
3. Mouse
4. CPU
5. Printer
6. Barcode Reader

  1, 2 and 3

  None of these are input devices

  All of them

  1, 3 and 6

 8. What is an advantage of a 2D barcode over a 1D barcode?
inputandoutput_q3.png

  There is no advantage

  A 2D barcode is cheaper to produce

  A 2D barcode can contain more information

  A 2D barcode is easier to read

 9. How does a pen reader or laser scanner read a barcode?

  They detect the smell of ink

  They use optical character recognition software

  They detect changes in the intensity of reflected light

  The user has to input the values manually

 10. CMOS sensors are commonly used in phone cameras rather than CCD sensors as they comsume less power.

  TRUE

  FALSE

 11. What is an RFID tag?

  Remote Feral Identification Tag

  Radio Frequency Identification Tag

  Readable Frequency Infrared Tag

  Radio FM Indicator Tag

 12. Which of these is an example of a passive RFID tag? 
Which of these is an example of a passive RFID tag?
===================================================

1. A contactless bank card
2. A barcode
3. A radio transmitter 
4. A GPS receiver

  All of them

  1

  3 and 4

  1 and 2

 13. OLED stands for Organic Light-Emitting Diode screen.

  TRUE

  FALSE

 14. Why can inkjet printers print better photographs than laser printers?

  They use less ink

  They can print more dots per inch (dpi) so the resolution is better

  They have better printer driver software

  They can't - laser printers are always better

 15. What is this output device pictured below?

  An actuator

  A 3D printer

  A barcode scanner

  A cooling fan

 16. Fill in the blanks for the following excerpt on barcode readers 
The barcode scanner detects the reflected light from the illumination 
system (the red light) and generates an ________________ that is 
sent to the decoder. The decoder interprets that signal, 
validates the barcode using the check digit, and converts it into text.

  ambient sequence

  arched signal

  analog signal

  arty binary sequence

 17. In a barcode reader, the converter changes the analog signal to a ________________ which is fed to the decoder.

  binary bit

  256 bytes

  analog signal

  digital signal

 18. Read the following excerpt on cell phones and see if you agree. 
While cell phone cameras without auto-focus are not ideal for reading some common barcode formats, there are 2D barcodes which are optimized for cell phones, as well as QR Codes (Quick Response) codes and Data Matrix codes which can be read quickly and accurately with or without auto-focus

  FALSE

  TRUE

 19. The scanner resolution is measured by the ________________ of light emitted by the reader.

  size of the dot

  size of the shop in which it is contained

  size of the scanner

  size of the light beam

 20. Input and output devices (such as printers and scanners) are sometimes referred to as …

  mouse parts

  CPU components

  central computer parts

  peripherals
