5. Explain ADC and DAC, along with an example.
Ans: ADC stands for Analog to Digital Converter.

It changes real-world signals (like sound, temperature, or light) into digital signals (numbers that a
computer can understand).

✅ Example:
A microphone uses ADC to convert your voice (sound waves) into digital audio so it can be recorded
or sent through a computer.

DAC stands for Digital to Analog Converter.

It changes digital signals (numbers from a computer) back into real-world signals (like sound or
movement).
✅ Example:
When you play music on your phone or computer, the DAC changes the digital music file into sound
so you can hear it through speakers or headphones.
6. Name the output device used for very high-quality prints on very large papers. Mention any two
disadvantages of the same.
Ans: Plotter
Disadvantage:
 Slow printing
 Expensive
7. Which input device is used to check the legitimacy of documents? Mention an area where it is used.
Ans: Magnetic Ink Character Reader (MICR)

Where Is It Used?
Banks – To check if a cheque is real or fake by reading the special magnetic ink printed on it.
