    LECTURE 3.1- NUMBER OF MODES
    Question 1
    Compute the number of modes that will be supported by a fibre with core diameter of 20mm,
    a core refractive index of 1.5 and a cladding index of 1.48 if it is excited by light of frequency
    0.25MHz.
    Answer
    Given radius of core
    a=D/2=0.01m
    n1=1.5
    n2=1.48
    Frequency f=0.25×106 Hz
    So, wavelength
    λ=c÷f=1200m
    =1200m

    Therefore no. Of modes


    V= (2×3.14×0.01÷1200) ×√ (1.5)2−(1.48)2
    V=1.277×10-5
    V<2.405
    Therefore, only one mode is possible.

    LECTURE 3.2-INTERNET AND WORLD WIDE WEB


    Question 1
    The major internet service providers in Ghana.
     Mobile Telephone Network: First founded in 1994, MTN has a market share of
    53.54%-the largest in Ghana. In 2006 they became the first to provide
    telecommunications coverage in all regions in Ghana.

     Vodafone: First founded in 1974. Acquired 70% of Ghana Telecom from the
    Ghanaian government on 17th May 2008, and now owns 23.7% of market shares in
    Ghana.

     AirtelTigo: Was once “Bharti Cellular” but rebranded in 1995 to “Airtel”. Tigo
    launched in 1991 as a subsidiary of Millicom Cellular. Airtel and Tigo officially
    merged in November 2017.

    Question 2
    Uniform Resource Locator for University of Ghana: https://www.ug.edu.gh
    Protocol- “https”, Subdomain- “www”, Domain- “ug.edu.gh”

    1
    Uniform Resource Locator for Department of Computer science-https://dcs.ug.edu.gh
    Protocol- “https”, Subdomain-“dcs”, Domain- “ug.edu.gh”

    Question 3
    Steps in creating a webpage using html:
     I opened the notepad app on Microsoft start menu
     I then began creating the webpage by first typing “<HTML>”
     I added a title by using the HTML words <HEAD> and <TITLE>, and typed in
    welcome to my webpage and ended with </TITLE> and </HEAD>.
     To add a body, I typed, “<BODY>”, and put in the content of my body and ended with
    “</BODY>”
     I then ended the creation of my webpage with </HTML>
    I took a screenshot for reference:

    -The buffer will have filled up to the high water mark at 0.88s
    -It will take 2.66 seconds to fall to the low mark

    LECTURE 3.4-IP ADDRESSING


    Steps in Incorporating a Java Script Code.
    1. In your text editor, open your html file.
    2. Directly below <h1>Welcome to my webpage</h1>, type the following code: <script>
    document. Write('<p> Welcome to my webpage </ p>'); </script> ...
    3. Save the page and open it in a web browser.

    LECTURE 5-SYSTEM SOFTWARE FUNDAMENTALS


    Question 1
    i) Two types of interface that an OS should provide are Menu-driven Interface and
    Command line User Interface
    ii) a. Graphical User Interface-Mouse
    b. Command line User Interface-Keyboard
    iii) Three management tasks carried out by an OS are:
     Resource Management: The OS schedules processes and the use of different
    resources by the different processes. It resolves conflicts when two processes
    require the same resource.
     Memory Management: This refers to the management of memory locations for all
    the various programs in the computer and ensure no two programs have the same
    location. The OS also makes the best use of space available. It also makes
    decisions about which processes should be in main memory and where they
    should be stored.

    Question 2
    i) Two Utility Programs that deal with Hard Disk Problems are “Hard Disk Defragmenter”
    and “Backup Software”
    ii) How these programs work:
     The Hard Disk Defragmenter stores all saved files in one place and puts unused
    space together, hence reducing how much the read and write heads move around.
     The Backup Software creates supplementary exact copies of data on hard disk
    onto another medium in case of loss of data on the Hard Drive.
    iii) Two other utility programs are application Launchers and disk cleaners.

    Question 3
    Library programs allow programmers to skip writing complicated but frequently needed data. The
    documentation in in library programs allow programmers to understand the procedure without
    actually reading the code.
    Examples include; Tensor Flow, Boost, and Eigen

    Question 4
    i) Assembler converts assembly code to machine code while compiler converts source
    code written by programmer to machine level language.
    ii) In the “first pass”, labels and address mappings enter and mnemonic and opcode
    mappings are referenced from here.
    iii) In the “second pass” machine code is produced
    Question 5
    i) State three differences between how an interpreter works and how a compiler works.
    Compiler Interpreter
    Scans entire program and translates to Scans line by line and converts to machine
    machine code code
    It creates object code file It does create object code file
    Errors are displayed after entire program Errors are displayed after each line.
    is checked.
    ii) Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of an interpreter compared to a
    compiler.
    With an interpreter debugging is a lot simpler since errors are detected quicker
    because they are scanned line by line. But in using a compiler, it is much harder
    to debug since errors are displayed after entire program is checked. However, a
    compiler works much faster than an interpreter and while the interpreter needs to
    be in memory each time the program is run, the compiler does not need to.
    iii) If a programmer chooses java, a special approach is used. Identify one
    feature of this special approach.
    1. Object Oriented
    In Java, everything is an Object. Java can be easily extended since it is based on the Object model.

    2. Platform Independent
    Unlike many other programming languages including C and C++, when Java is compiled, it is not
    compiled into platform specific machine, rather into platform-independent byte code. This byte
    code is distributed over the web and interpreted by the Virtual Machine (JVM) on whichever
    platform it is being run on.

    3. Simple
    Java is designed to be easy to learn. If you understand the basic concept of OOP Java, it would be
    easy to master.

    Question 6

    A company provides catering services for clients who need special-occasion, celebratory dinners.
    For each dinner, a number of dishes are to be offered. The dinner will be held at a venue. The
    company will provide staff to serve meals at the venue. The company needs a database to store data
    related to this business activity
    –Identify a list of entities
    –Identify pairs of entities where a direct relationship exists
    –For each pair of relationship draw the entity relationship diagram justifying the choice of
    cardinalities.
