How does radio frequency interference affect wireless networks?
What will be an ideal response?
Wireless devices operate using radio signals, creating the potential for two types of signal interference. Signals from other devices can disrupt wireless transmissions, or the wireless device may itself be the source of interference for other devices.
There are several different types of devices that transmit a radio signal that may interfere with a WLAN. These devices include microwave ovens, elevator motors, photocopying machines, certain types of outdoor lighting systems, theft protection devices, and cordless telephones. These may cause errors or completely prevent transmission between a wireless device and an access point. And because WLAN devices operate within the same radio frequency, they may "return the favor" and likewise interfere with other wireless devices.

Prepare an IPO chart for the task.
Compute the area of a triangle given the length of its altitude and base.
Two trains are heading toward each other on the same track, both traveling at 1 mile per minute. A super bee is riding on the headlight of one of the trains. When the trains are exactly two miles apart the bee flies off to the other train. Upon reaching the headlight of the other train, the bee immediately reverses direction and flies back to the first train. The bee flies back and forth as the
two trains continue on their collision course. If the bee maintains an average speed of 2 miles per minute, how far does the bee travel before it is squished? Solve the following time-rate-distance problems using the IPO method. Ignore time zones.
