Which technology is used in a compact disc to read the stored data ?

  • A.A magnetic head
  • B.A laser beam
  • C.An electron beam
  • D.An infrared sensor array

Answer: A

Correct answer: A laser beam

A CD drive shines a laser at the disc and detects the change in reflection at the edges of microscopic pits. Because nothing touches the surface, the disc does not wear with repeated reading, unlike magnetic tape.
