A pen shaped device which can sense light, and is used to point at spots on a video screen.

  • A.Mouse
  • B.Light pen
  • C.Joystick
  • D.Plotter

Answer: B

Correct answer: Light pen

A light pen is held against the screen and its photocell detects the instant the scanning beam passes beneath it; from the timing the system works out which point was touched. It was the standard way of pointing at a spot on a display before the mouse became common.
