The ..... program compresses large files into a smaller file

Answer: A

WinZip compresses large files into a smaller archive.

It uses lossless algorithms, so the original is recovered exactly on extraction. Compression works by encoding repeated patterns compactly, which is why text compresses well and an already-compressed JPEG hardly at all.

Which device can be used to store charge?

Answer: C

A capacitor stores charge.

Two conducting plates are separated by an insulator; applying a voltage moves charge onto one plate and off the other, and the charge stays when the source is removed. Capacitors smooth power supplies, tune radios and couple amplifier stages.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

The name describes the mechanism: an excited atom stimulated by a passing photon emits a second photon identical in phase and direction. That coherence is what distinguishes laser light from ordinary light.

Which material is chiefly used to make semiconductor devices ?

Answer: D

Correct answer: Silicon

Silicon is the dominant semiconductor because it is abundant, forms a stable insulating oxide and can be purified to an extreme degree. Germanium was used in the earliest transistors, and gallium arsenide serves specialised high-frequency roles.

According to CNN, how much did Internet traffic increase between 1994 and 1996?

Answer: D

Internet traffic increased about twenty-five times between 1994 and 1996.

Those were the years the web went from a research curiosity to a mass medium: Netscape Navigator appeared in 1994 and the number of websites rose from about 3,000 to over 250,000.

Once the active medium is excited, the first photons of light are produced by which physical process?

Answer: B

The first photons in a laser are produced by spontaneous emission.

An excited atom drops to a lower level of its own accord and emits a photon in a random direction. A few of those photons happen to travel along the axis, and they set off the stimulated emission that builds the beam.

What is the Websites code for the country Bulgaria?

Answer: D

The country code for Bulgaria is .bg.

Country codes are two letters and follow the ISO 3166-1 standard, which is why they do not always match the country's name in English.
