The most accurate answer is PROM (Programmable read-only memory) a.k.a. OTP ROM (One-time programmable ROM). You can fill it with data once, but after that you cannot modify it. Example: PROM chips and CD-R.

What type of memory retains contents until exposed to ultraviolet light?
EPROM - Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.
What type of memory loses its contents when power is turned off on your computer?
RAM, or random access memory.
What is read-only access memory?
READ-ONLY memory is protected against modification by a simple user Write Command. It is generally used to hold low level code such as the Instruction Set for the Computer Hardware itself. The typical application user can NOT address this memory area, but on their behalf, the Operating System can read the memory contents, but NOT modify it. Memory Chips of this type are typically FLASHED to make updates to their contents.
What type of memory looses its contents when power is removed?
The motherboard has a lithium battery on it that is juuuust strong enough to keep the memory from losing its data.
Which is the correct path to access modem properties on a Windows XP machine?

What content is erased when the computer is turn off?
The contents of the Random Access Memory (RAM) are lost on switch off, unless the contents is first saved to the hard drive, or an external drive. RAM is considered to be a volatile memory.
Can the content of the ram be modified?
RAM stands for 'Random Access Memory', its your computer's 'working memory' much like how your short-term memory is used to remember the current tasks you are doing. When the computer is powered off, the RAM is automatically cleared, and whenever you do something on the computer (like launch a program) that program is temporarily stored in the RAM until it is closed. The contents of your RAM will change all the time as you do different things with your programs (like open a website in your web browser). So yes, it's possible to change the contents of your RAM, because these contents are always changing.
What does these letters mean RAM?
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is a type of computer memory that is used to store data and machine code that is currently being used or processed by the CPU. RAM is volatile memory, meaning it loses its contents when the computer is powered off.

Define Read Only memory?
Read Only Memory (ROM) is a type of non-volatile memory where data is permanently written during manufacturing and cannot be easily altered or deleted. ROM is commonly used to store firmware and essential software instructions that are needed to boot up a device or system.
