 B)False  True

Question 2

What are the two types of signals used to communicate a message in a network and how are they different? What device converts one type to the other type?

Accepted Answer

The two ways to communicate a message in a network are analog signals and digital signals.An analog signal is represented by a continuous waveform that passes through a communications medium and is used for voice communication.Examples include the telephone handset and other types of speakers that generate analog sound.On the other hand,digital signals are binary waveforms (not continuous)that communicate information as strings of two discrete states: one bit or zero bits (often depicted as strings of zeroes and ones).Computers use these types of signals and use modems to convert digital signals to analog signals.
