Technology MCQs

322. The sampling rate, (how many samples per second are stored) for a CD is…?

A. 48.4 kHz
B. 22,050 Hz
C. 44.1 kHz
D. 48 kHz
✅ The correct answer is option C.
CDs reproduce 44,100 samples per second. Which has a maximum frequency reproduction of 22,050 Hz, or just a hair past the upper limit of human hearing. In this way CDs can theoretically reproduce any frequency in the human hearing range.

323. What frequency range is the High Frequency band?

A. 100 kHz
B. 1 GHz
C. 30 to 300 MHz
D. 3 to 30 MHz
✅ The correct answer is option D.
The HF band is based on frequencies 3 to 30 Mhz. AM radio stations are in the HF band but normally are stated in kilohertz.

327. In which decade was the ARRL founded?

A. 1940s
B. 1930s
C. 1920s
D. 1910s
✅ The correct answer is option D.
On April 6, 1914, Hiram Percy Maxim proposed the formation of the American Radio Relay League.

328. After the first photons of light are produced, which process is responsible for amplification of the light?

A. Blackbody radiation
B. Stimulated emission
C. Planck’s radiation
D. Einstein oscillation
✅ The correct answer is option B.
The word “laser” is actually an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Atoms or molecules of the active medium that have been excited to a higher energy level are stimulated by a passing photon to relax to a lower energy level and emit a photon that is indistinguishable from the passing photon, thereby increasing the number of photons like the incident one.
