Optical Technology

 OPTICAL MEMORY 











In optical media such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray discs, pits and lands play a crucial role in representing binary information. 


    • Pits are microscopic depressions on the disc’s surface.
    • When a laser beam hits a pit, it shatters, and no reflection is received.
    • As a result, a binary 0 (O) is registered.
    • Essentially, pits correspond to the absence of data.
    • Think of pits as the valleys or low points on the disc.:
    • Lands are the flat areas between pits.
    • When a laser beam hits a land, it reflects back into a sensor.
    • This reflection registers as a binary 1 (I).
    • Lands represent the presence of data.
    • Imagine lands as the plateaus or high points on the disc.

Computational Thinking Properties

  Computational Thinking (CT) involves a set of problem-solving skills and techniques that software engineers use to write programs that underlie the computer applications you use such as search, email, and maps.  There are many different techniques today that software engineers use for CT such as: Decomposition: Breaking a task or problem into steps or parts. Pattern Recognition: Make predictions and models to test. Patten Generalization and Abstraction: Discover the law, or principles that cause these patterns. Algorithm Design: Develop the instructions to solve similar problems and repeat the process. DECOMPOSITION Part of being a computer scientist is breaking down a big problem into the smaller problems that make it up. If you can break down a big problem into smaller problems, then you can give them to a computer to solve. For example, if I gave you a cake and asked you to back me another one, you might struggle. But if you watched me making the cake and worked out the i...

Types of Network,OSI Model

                   Types of Network Ø   A LAN is a network that connects computers within a limited area like a home, school, or office. Ø   It typically uses Ethernet or Wi-Fi for connectivity. Ø   LANs allow sharing of resources such as files, printers, and internet connections. Ø   It is usually high-speed and provides a secure connection within the localized area. Ø   A WAN spans a large geographic area, often connecting multiple LANs. Ø   The internet is the largest example of a WAN. Ø   WANs use long-distance communication links like satellite, leased lines, or public networks. Ø   They are slower than LANs and often involve higher costs due to the distance and technology used.   Ø   A MAN covers a larger area than a LAN but is smaller than a WAN, usually a city or a campus. Ø   It is often used by organization...
