Question

With modem communications, the receiving modem converts the incoming digital signal from the telephone line into an analog signal that can be understood by the computer. True False

Answer 1

Answer:

False      

Explanation:

A modem is a device that acts as a modulator and de-modulator.  

It converts the (modulates) the analog signal to digital signal and converts (demodulates) the digital signal back to analog signal.

The given sentence is wrong because:

• The signals from a telephone line are called analog signals.

• The computer can recognize the digital signals not the analog signals. A computer can understand digital data which is in the form of 0s and 1s.

So modem converts the digital data from the computer to the analog signal which is then transferred over the telephone line and it converts the analog signal from the telephone line to the digital one that can be understood by the computer.
