What Are Computer Output Devices? - Quiz

This quiz will test the student's knowledge on what they have learned about output devices.

Questions and Answers

1.

Which of the following is NOT an output device?
- A.
  
  Microphone
- B.
  
  Speaker
- C.
  
  Printer
- D.
  
  Monitor
Correct Answer
A. MicropHone

Explanation
A microphone is not an output device because it is used to input sound into a computer or device, rather than outputting sound or displaying information. It is commonly used for recording audio or for voice input in applications like voice recognition or video conferencing. Output devices, on the other hand, are used to display or produce information from a computer or device, such as speakers for audio output, printers for printing documents, and monitors for displaying visual information.

Which is an example of a softcopy output device?
- A.
  
  Head phone
- B.
  
  Printer
- C.
  
  Monitor
- D.
  
  Speaker
Correct Answer
C. Monitor

Explanation
A monitor is an example of a softcopy output device because it displays information visually on a screen. Softcopy refers to digital or electronic data that is not printed on physical paper. Monitors are commonly used to view text, images, videos, and other visual content from computers or other electronic devices. Unlike a printer, which produces hardcopy output on paper, a monitor provides a softcopy output by displaying the information electronically. Headphones and speakers are not output devices, but rather input devices for audio.

Explanation
A hard copy refers to a physical printout or document that is tangible and can be touched or held.

They are often preferred for important documents or records that need to be accessed or preserved over a long period of time.

Therefore, it is the category of output that disappears when referring to soft copies.
