2. Raster data uses geometric shapes to show the location and shape of geographic features.
Choose the correct statement/s from the code given below:Correct
None of the above statements are correct.
●Geospatial data (also known as “spatial data”) is used to describe data about objects, events, or phenomena (manmade or natural) that have a location on the surface of the earth.
●At present, 80% of any data has a geo spatial component.
●Vector Data- It uses geometric shapes to show the location and shape of geographic features. Raster Data: It represents data through a digital image such as a scanned map or photograph. Thus statements are interchanged .Incorrect

5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statement about Voice over Internet Protocol(VoIP) which allows making voice calls using internet:
1. It converts sound into electrical signals and sends it to the nearest station of Internet Service Provider.
2. Calling from internet to any telephone number is possible.
3. IP address of users can not be traced over VoIP calling.
Which of the above statement/s is/are correct?Correct
2 is correct and 1 and 3 are incorrect.
●Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. It converts sound into a digital signal that travels through the internet. Thus statement 1 is incorrect.
●Some VoIP services may only allow you to call other people using the same service, but others may allow you to call anyone who has a telephone number – including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers. Thus statement 2 is correct.
●Ip address is traceable as every device connected to the internet has an IP address. Thus statement 3 is incorrect.Incorrect

Question 6 of 10
6. Question
1 pointsWhat best explains the White-Space spectrum?
Correct
(c) is correct.
●The white-space spectrum is a term for bands of frequencies that exist in the general range used for television broadcasting but remain unused. They had become available in some countries for various kinds of mobile devices.
●The lower frequencies of many of these unused signals make them desirable for commercial use, partly because they are better able to penetrate walls and other physical obstacles.Incorrect
