A CD, or Compact Disc, is an optical disc used to store digital data. It primarily relies on laser technology to read and write information, making it neither an electric disk nor a magnetic disk. Instead, it utilizes optical encoding, where data is represented by tiny pits on the disc's surface that are read by a laser.
What else can I help you with?
Is a CD-ROM an optical or solid state or magnetic?
A compact disk (CD) is an optical storage device.
What is the difference between an optical and a magnetic disk?
A magnetic disk is a disk which stores information magnetically, and is read/written with a small magnetic head (e.g. a hard disk)An optical disk is a disk which stores information optically, usually as a series of pits and peaks, and is read/writMagnetic Storagea) Stores data in magnetic form & it doesn't use laser to read/write datab) It is affected by magnetic field.c) It has high storage capacity.d) Data accessing is high as compared to CD's and DVD's.e) Magnetic storage devices are ; Hard disk , Floppydisk, Magnetic tape etc.Optical Storagea) Stores data optically & uses laser to read/write.b) It is not affected by magnetic field.c) It has less storage than hard disk.d) Data accessing is high as compared to floppy.e) Optical storage devices are ; CD-ROM,CD-R,CD-RW, DVD etc.
Is CD-r disk a hard disk?
No, it is an optical disc. A hard disk is defined as a device that stores data on spinning magnetic platters. Although a CD is 'hard' (rigid) as opposed to the flexible inside of a floppy disk, that does not classify it as a hard disk.
What property of CD rom is similar to magnetic disk?
the answer is in the computer Architecture book. hope this helps.
Which of the following storage media used laser technology to store data Floppy disk Magnetic tape CD-ROM Hard drive?
Of these only CD-ROMs use LASERs to access the data. The others are magnetic storage devices.
What are examples of secondary memory?
Examples of secondary memory are magnetic type,floppy disk,CD roms etc
Is a hard disk magnetic or optical?
Magnetic storage is used on hard drives and floppy disks. Sectors of the disk are charged magnetically and are easily changed later. Optical storage uses a laser to read data. On a cd/dvd, the laser picks up tiny marks made starting in the center and rotating outward.
Is floppy disc optical storage?
No. Floppy disks are magnetic media that rely on magnetic polarization to write data to the disk much like a hard drive. Unlike CD media they can be erased by a strong magnet field that effectively scrambles the data tracks.
What are some examples of secondary memory?
Examples of secondary memory are magnetic type,floppy disk,CD roms etc
Cd means compact disk or computer disk?
CD mean only compact disk
What does CD stand for in CD 4016?
CD stand for Compact Disk and CD 4016 stand for compact disk my
What are examples of magnetic and non-magnetic storage media?
Magnetic Storage:Hard disk drive (HDD)Floppy disk drive (FDD)Data Tape backupMiniDV tapeCassette tapeThe magnetic stripe on the back of a credit or debit cardNon-magnetic Storage:Solid-state drive (SSD)Flash memory cardUSB flash driveOptical media (DVD, CD and BluRay)Punch cards
