Question

Bandwidth of a channel is:

• A. The range of frequencies available for transmission of data through that channel.
• B. The path of message travels between source and destination.
• C. The set of rules on the Internet.
• D. The data or information that needs to be exchanged.

Hint:

Higher bandwidth means higher data transfer capacity. For example, a 100 Mbps channel can carry more data than a 10 Mbps channel.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding bandwidth.
Bandwidth refers to the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies that a channel can use to transmit data. It determines the channel's data-carrying capacity.
Step 2: Evaluate options.
- Option 1: Correct → Bandwidth is indeed the range of available frequencies.
- Option 2: Incorrect → This describes a communication path, not bandwidth.
- Option 3: Incorrect → Rules on the Internet are protocols, not bandwidth.
- Option 4: Incorrect → This describes the message/data, not channel capacity.

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Bandwidth = Range of frequencies available for transmission.}} \]
