about signal strength? - ANSWER A) The greater the distance between wireless
devices, the lower the signal strength and data rate.

in temperature? - ANSWER 1%
Which of the following is a characteristic of high-definition television (HDTV)? -
ANSWER D) Audio surround sound using Dolby Digital technology.
Which type of screen display has been known to use a great deal of energy, can have a
short lifespan, but has high-contrast, vibrantly accurate color images? - ANSWER
plasma
