What is the primary role of a modem in communication technology?
AAmplify signals
BReceive electromagnetic waves
CTransmit radio waves
DConvert digital signals to analog and vice versa
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Understand modem functionality

    A modem modulates digital signals into analog signals for transmission and demodulates received analog signals back into digital form.
  2. Step 2: Differentiate from other devices

    Amplifiers increase signal strength, antennas transmit or receive waves, but do not convert signal types.
  3. Final Answer:

    Convert digital signals to analog and vice versa → Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Modem function = Digital to analog conversion ✅
Quick Trick: Modem = MOdulator + DEModulator
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing modem with amplifier or antenna functions.
