1. Input Unit
Input is the process of entering and translating data into machine readable form so that it can be processed by a computer in order to produce the output
The data entered into the computer known as input
Input device is a device through which data are entered and transformed into machine readable form

Mouse:
Mouse is a hand held input device connected to the computer by a small cable
Doug Engelbart developed the mouse for the first time in 1960s
The mouse which has a ball on its underside is rolled on a flat surface

The rolling movement corresponding to the movement of the cursor on the screen
Processing various keyboard keys can also move the cursor
We can communicate to the computer by pressing a button on top of the mouse
The mouse has three buttons but the left most is commonly used

Track Ball
A variation on the mouse is the trackball The trackball is like an upside-down mouse It has a ball on the top and you can roll the
ball directly with your hand The popularity of the trackball raised with the
advent of the laptop computers Trackballs are often built-in on portable
computers, but they can also be used as separate input devices

Joystick
A joystick is an input device that enables you to move cursor, word, line, page, object and pictures from one point to another on the display screen
A joystick uses a lever to control the position of the cursor
Ti performs the same function as of arrow keys in the keyboard, but it is fat and gives you eight-direction movement as compared to four
It is mostly used in video games.

Touch Screen
The touch screen registers input when a finger or other object comes in contact with the screen
Two touch screen techniques involve infrared beams and ultrasonic acoustic waves
Touch screen have long been used in military applications
Today because they have been less expensive, touch screens are found in many applications

Track Point
The mouse is not practical for people using a portable computer in a small space
Some notebook computers provide a mouse substitute called a track point
A button that protrudes from the middle of the keyboard
With a track point you imitate mouse movements by pushing the button from side to side

Touch Pad
Many laptop computers use a touchpad in front of the keyboard
You move your finger on the pad to move the cursor on the screen
When you want to click, you can tap the pad or use the buttons in front of the pad, which work like mouse buttons
22
![Page 23: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Light Pen
The light pen looks like an ordinary pen, but its tip is light sensitive detector
The light pen uses a light-sensitive photoelectric cell to signal screen positions to the computer
Light pens are frequently used by graphic designers and drafting engineers.

Scanner
scanner works very much like a photocopier, but a scanner digitizes the information into a computer, not onto the other piece of paper
In a process called imaging, a scanner converts a drawing, a picture, on any document into computer recognizable form
26
![Page 27: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Scanners take an electronic picture of the printed page, break each image into thousands of light and dark dots that can be stored in the computer
Then software in the computer tells it how to interpret the dot patterns
27
![Page 28: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Scanners consist of two components First a data capturing subsystem light-up the document
so the image can be recorded Then an image-processing subsystem uses
sophisticated software to convert the optical images into digital form and store the date in a file
Scanners come in both handheld and desktop models

BCR (Bar Coded Reader)
Data coded in the form of light and dark lines or bars are known as bar codes
Bar codes are used particularly by the retail trade for labeling goods
BCR is a device used for reading bar coded data
30
![Page 31: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bar code reading is performed by laser beam scanner, which is linked to the computer
Interpretation of the code is based on the width of lines rather than the location of the bar code
31
![Page 32: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
2. Processing Unit
CPU Central Processing Unit Central: because it is the center for data
processing
Processor: because it process/execute data
Unit: it is a chip which contain several internal parts

CPU is main unit inside the computer which is responsible for events that occur inside the Computer system
The operation performed by the Processor is called Instruction-Set
Instruction set determine the Machine language for CPU
35
![Page 36: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The more complex Instruction set the more the CPU working slowly
CPU differ from one another by Instruction-set
If same program execute/run on the two different computers then these computers are called Compatible
IBM & Apple computers are not compatible

1. ALU
The arithmetic and logic unit is the part where actual computations take place
It consists of circuits which perform arithmetic operations e.g. addition, substation, multiplication, division
39
![Page 40: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
These operation are performed on the data received from the memory
ALU is capable to compare numbers: less than, equal to, greater than
40
![Page 41: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
2. Registers
Registers are a group of data cells used for RAM/ Primary Memory data loading into it
Data is loaded from RAM into Registers and then moves to ALU for Processing
Registers are high speed memory that hold/save data for quick processing
It also hold the intermediate level result
41
![Page 42: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Register Types: General Registers
This portion keep active program data
Special Purpose RegistersThis portion keeps the data for the further/next
processing

3. Clock Unit
All operation performed in a computer system are consist of thousand of separate Instruction/ Commands
These Instruction/ Commands should follow a specific time-intervals
These time-intervals are generated and controlled by clock unit
Every operation takes place with a clock pulse
43
![Page 44: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The faster the clock the faster the computer processing
The clock rate (speed) is measured in Hertz KHz MHz GHz
In older system the clock unit is external to the CPU
But in New computer Models it exist inside CPU
44
![Page 45: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
4. Control Unit
Control Unit is responsible for managing and coordination the entire computer system
It does not perform any kind of processing on the data but it control and direct the input
In other words: it is central controller for all of the activities that occurs inside CPU (internal)or outside (external) of Computer system
45
![Page 46: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
It interprets the instructions fetched into the computer, determines type of data What operation to apply on the data where to store the data after the operation send the control signals to the devices involved in
the execution of the instructions To whom give the output (Monitor/ Printer)
Also control & order the output devices for displaying the result
46

The output that is obtained from a computer system has two types
1. Soft Copy
2. Hard Copy
50
![Page 51: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Soft Copy
The results (text/graphics) appear on displayed screen are known as soft copy
It is a transparent form of output and is lost when the computer is turned off
if the data needed to create a soft copy have been saved on disk or tapes, the soft copy can be reproduced on the screen any time
51
![Page 52: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Hard Copy
The results (text/Graphics) printed on paper is known as Hard Copy
It is considered to a permanent copy and can be retained even if the computer is turned off
52
![Page 53: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Soft Copy Devices:
The main soft copy device is the monitor device
A monitor is television like device used to display data or information.
Monitors allow the users to view the results of processing
53
![Page 54: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
There are two main types of monitors which are:
1. CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)
2. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
54
![Page 55: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
1. CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)
On this type of screen, a data image is produced by an electron beam
The most common type of CRT has a display screen of 25 lines of 80 characters each (Other sizes are also available)
The CRT’s screen display is made of small picture elements, called pixels
The smaller the pixels, the better the image clarity.
55
![Page 56: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

2. LCD
The most common type of flat-panel display is the liquid-crystal display (LCD)
LCD uses a clear liquid chemical trapped in tiny pocket of liquid is covered both front and back by very thin wires
The advantages of the LCD monitors are: low power consumption low cost and small size
57

Hard Copy devices
Among a wide variety of hard copy output devices printers, and plotters are used the most.
1. Printers
2. Plotters
59
![Page 60: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
A printer is an output device that can convert electrical signals into printers on papers and provides a permanent visual record of data
The results we get through the printer is called printout or hard copy
There are two main types of printers.1. Impact printers
2. Non-impact printers
60
![Page 61: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
1. Impact Printer
An impact printer makes contact with the paper
It usually forms the print image by pressing an inked ribbon against the paper using a hammer or pins
Prints one character at a time at speeds 10 to 500 characters per second
Thus, form the slowest class of printers. Following are some impact printers:
a) Dot Matrix Printerb) Line Printer
61
![Page 62: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
a. Dot Matrix Printers
The dot-matrix uses print heads containing from 9 to 24 pins
These pins produce patterns of dots on the paper to form the individual character
The 24-pin dot-matrix printer produces more dots than a 9-pin dot-matrix printer, which results in much clearer characters
62
![Page 63: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
The user can produce a color output with a dot-matrix printer (the user will change the black ribbon with a ribbon that has color stripes)
Dot-matrix printers are inexpensive and typically print at speeds of 100-600 characters per second.
63
![Page 64: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

b. Line Printer
In business where large amount of material are printed, the character at a time printers are slow
users need line at a time line printers Line printers or line-at-a-time printers use
special mechanism that can print a whole line at once
66
![Page 67: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
They can typically print in the range of 1200-6000 lines per minute.
Drum, chain, and band printers are line-at-a-time printers.
67
![Page 68: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)

2. Non-Impact Printer
Non-impact printers do not use a striking device to produce characters on the paper
these printers do not hammer against the paper
Following are some non-impact printers:1. Ink-jet Printer2. Laser Printer
70

1. Ink-Jet Printer Ink-jet printers work in the same fashion as
dot-matrix printers in that they form images or characters with little dots
However, the dots are formed by tiny drops of ink
Ink-jet printers form characters on paper by spraying ink from tinny nozzles at a speed of approximately 250 characters per second
Several manufacturers produce color ink-jet printers

2. Laser Printer
A laser printer works like a photocopy machine
Laser printer produce images on paper by directing a laser beam at the mirror which bounces the beam onto the drum
As the paper rolls by the drum, the toner is transferred to the paper printing a letter or other graphics on the paper

Laser printers use buffers that store an entire page at a time
When a whole page is loaded, it will be printed The speed of laser printer ranges from 8 to 437
pages per minute if each page contains the 48 lines

2. Plotter
A plotter is an output device designed to produce high-quality graphics in a variety of colors
The plotter is used to give very neat best quality to the graphics
Plotter is useful for the engineers, artists, designers, architects to make graphics when the size output is more than one page
78

Memory/ Storage Devices
The storage hardware provides the capability/ability to store data and program instructions.
There are two types of storage devices.1. Primary Storage Devices
2. Secondary Storage Devices
85
![Page 86: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Note: the process of entering data into storage
(primary storage or secondary storage) is called Writing
the process of retrieving data from primary storage or secondary storage is called Reading
86
![Page 87: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
1. Primary storage device
It is also known as magnetic core memory It is a device which stores information in the
form of binary coded data It is a medium capable of recording and
storing information quickly This device holds input data before being
processed, also results for output purposes (after processing)
87
![Page 88: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
This memory is also known as internal memory The primary storage refers to the internal storage
of the computer, where program and their data are stored temporarily storage during program execution
primary storage is located inside the computer and is linked directly to the other components of the CPU, access time to the data is very fast.
88
![Page 89: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Types of Primary Storage
i. RAM (Random Access Memory)ii. ROM (Read Only Memory)iii. PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory)iv. EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory)v. EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read Only Memory)vi. Buffervii. Cache Memoryviii. Flash Memory

i. RAM Random Access Memory RAM is the part of primary storage where
data and program instructions are held temporarily while being manipulating or executing
The information stored in RAM can be accessed easily and randomly and hence called primary memory
The data stored in this part of the memory can be read, changed or erased completely and thus refer to Read and write Memory
90
![Page 91: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)

RAM is also known as temporary memory because, RAM depends on a steady supply of electricity to maintain data storage
means that the information stored in it is lost when the computer is switched off or the light goes off
RAM is also referred to as a Volatile Memory because stored data disappears whenever the computer is switched off.
94
![Page 95: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
When the computer is powered on, RAM takes the data and the programs to be used. The access time for the data stored in RAM generally ranges from a microsecond (million part of a second) to a few nanoseconds (billion part of a second). It is also called as main memory.
95
![Page 96: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
ii. ROM
Read Only Memory
As the name implies the contents of the ROM, the data can be accessed or read any time but can not be changed or removed or written to it
ROM is referred to as Nonvolatile storage medium
96
![Page 97: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
the information stored in ROM is permanent and is not lost due to light failure or switching off of the computer
ROM may contain information about how to start the computer and even instruction to the entire operating system Bootstrap (boot startup Program) IPL (initial Program Loader)
The ROM contents are unchangeable and permanent
97

iii. PROM
Programmable Read Only Memory PROM in the beginning are empty chips
Nothing programmed or recorded inside PROM The data is recorded on them with special
programming device, which then becomes permanent like ROM
PROMs are normally programmed by the manufacturer who records dedicated programs such as graphics and games
100
![Page 101: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)

iv. EPROM
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory An EPROM chip has the feature of PROM
(means EPROM are also empty chips like PROM)
The data is also recorded on them with special programming devices, but the difference is that the data can be erased and reprogrammed whenever it is required
The data is erased with ultraviolet light
102
![Page 103: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)

v. EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
EEPROM has all the characteristics of EPROM except the difference of erasing technique i.e. it uses electrical pulses instead of ultraviolet
light for erasing. Erasing of data can be achieved by using
keyboard commands without removing chips physically from the computer
104
![Page 105: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
vi. Buffer
It’s a temporary holding/saving memory for Data
It may be built into devices used to input/ output data
input & output device are much slower than CPU
Buffer act as intermediary between CPU & any other input/ output devices e.g. CPU to Printer/NIC/Scanner/Modem/Monitor
It’s a volatile memory105
![Page 106: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
vii. Cache Memory
Also known as High speed Buffer Its very High speed memory used to speed of
the Processor by making available Programs & data to CPU
The speed of CPU is high than main memory or any other device
Cache memory is technique used to harmonize the speed of devices The speed of CPU with the speed of Main memory
106

2. Secondary Storage Device
The term secondary storage is also known as auxiliary storage, external storage, backup storage or long-term storage
A secondary storage is a device into which information can be introduced (input), stored and the information obtained The information can be erased.
110
![Page 111: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
This storage device designed to retain data and instructions in a more permanent form means that computers have the ability to store
their programs, the input data and the intermediate and final results of its calculations permanently
111
![Page 112: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Secondary storage is non-volatile, meaning that the data and instructions remain stored
even when the computer is turned off
In this unit, data can be permanently stored usually in the form of magnetize spot on magnetic material
It contains vast mass of data a computer can deal with
Data is recorded in the form of binary digits either 1 or 0 known as bits
112
![Page 113: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Functions of Secondary storage devices
1. To provide long-term storage to data and programs, which are not being executed
2. To give additional memory to the computer to save data and provide backup to primary memory
3. To provide permanent storage so that electricity failure or switching off of the computer does not harm or lose the data.

Types of Secondary Storage Devices There are several types of secondary
storage devices in use They each have advantages and
disadvantages Some are efficient but too expensive for many
computer applications Some have extra large capacity, others are
fast.

![Page 115: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
three types of secondary storage devices:
i. Magnetic Tapeii. Magnetic Diskiii. Optical Technology
115
![Page 116: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
i. Magnetic Tape
Magnetic tape was introduced in 1957 The development of magnetic tape was
stimulated by the search for a faster, more convenient, and more cost effective means than punched cards
magnetic tape is ½ or ¼ inch wide produced in a variety of ranging from 200
to 3,600 feet
116
![Page 117: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
A modern tape storage can store the equivalent of more than 2.25 million punched card
Following are the types of Magnetic Tape.a. Reel-to-reel Tapeb. Cassette Tape
117

Magnetic Disk
The advantages of magnetic disk over magnetic tape are:
1. The ability to access the data stored on it directly
2. The ability to hold more data in a smaller space
3. The ability to perform faster data transfer speeds.

Types of Magnetic Disks
two types of magnetic disks
i. Floppy Diskii. Hard Disk
121
![Page 122: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
i. Floppy Disks
One of the most commonly used storage media is floppy disk
A floppy diskette also called simply a diskette or disk
It has been around since the early 1970s and was originally 8 inches diameter.
They are often referred to “floppy” because they are made of flexible material
122
![Page 123: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)

The disk is enclosed in a protective jacket-either paper or plastic-lined with a soft material
The diskette sizes are:1. 8-inch2. 5½-inch3. 3½-inch
124
![Page 125: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
The initial diskette introduced by IBM was 8 inches in diameter It was the standard for many years The use of 5½-inch diskette by IBM in their
personal computer system in 1981 Since the Apple introduced the 3½-inch
diskette in 1984 and IBM switched to this size in 1987 in its PS/2
microcomputer system
125
![Page 126: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
Although the 3½-inch diskettes are smaller in size, they are capable of storing more
data than 5½-inch diskettes and they are also covered by a hard plastic jacket than a
paper jacket.
In initial stage, the diskettes were single-sided but nowadays diskette disks are double-sided disks
126

ii. Hard disk
when IBM first invented the hard disk in 1954
the capacity of which was only 5MB 25 years later, Seagate Technology
introduced the first hard disk drive for personal computers which had the capacity of 40MB and data transfer rate of 625 KBps
128
![Page 129: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
A later version of the company’s ST506 interface increased both capacity and speed
Its hard to believe that as recently as the late 1980s 100MB of hard disk space was considered generous.
Today, this would be totally insufficient, hardly to install the operating system alone,
let alone a huge application software such as Microsoft Office.
today’s hard disks are by GBs even TB

iii. Optical Technology
Optical technology involves the use of the laser beams
In this technology, a laser hit a layer of metallic material spread over the surface of a disk
heat from the laser tiny (small) spots/pits on the disc surface that actually identify that the data is being exist
135
![Page 136: IT Concept CH-02](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051207/543dc5cdb1af9f310a8b4bd9/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
When these optical discs are placed on a disc playback devices/ Disk Drives, To read the data the laser scans the disc a beam of laser light is used to read the pit pattern and convert these pit pattern into the audio/visual signals
needed to produce sounds and pictures
136
