A Correct answer
Explanation

Communication between computer and a keyboard involves Simplex transmission.

Simplex communication is a communication channel that sends information in one direction only. The International Telecommunication Union definition is a communications channel that operates in one direction at a time, but that may be reversible; this is termed half duplex in other contexts.

An advantage of half-duplex is that the single track is cheaper than the double tracks. A full duplex communication channel is able to transmit data in both directions on a signal carrier at the same time. It is constructed as a pair of simplex links that allows bidirectional simultaneous transmission.

  1. Digital Clock

  2. Automobile speed meter

  3. Clock with a dial and two hands

  4. All of them

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Digital devices are Digital Clock.

All data that a computer processes must be encoded digitally, as a series of zeroes and ones. The opposite of digital is analog. A typical analog device is a clock in which the hands move continuously around the face. ... Most analog events, however, can be simulated digitally.

Digital clocks typically use the 50 or 60 hertz oscillation of AC power or a 32,768 hertz crystal oscillator as in a quartz clock to keep time. Some timepieces, such as many digital watches, can be switched between 12-hour and 24-hour modes.

The earliest patent for a digital alarm clock was registered by D.E Protzmann and others on October 23, 1956, in the United States. Protzmann and his associates also patented another digital clock in 1970, which was said to use a minimal amount of moving parts.
