Chapter 8 Case Study

a. What is this kind of Interference?

This kind of Interference is a physical interference


b. Explain why it can slow down the traffic.

If loud, consistant, noise is constantly hauling at exposed, uncovered cables, sound waves may be able to disrupt or slow down signals traveling down from the cables. This is the reason why the traffic is slowed down.


c. Would the result of the tests be any different if the network cabling was running next to a just installed small alarm clock instead of an A/C unit? Why?

The results in this experiment, would be different. Alarm clocks stop at a certain point and is not as consistent or loud. Also, the cables must be exposed. In order to have similar results, the direct source of the alarm clock must be directly on the exposed wires.
