Question

Synonym of bandwidth is (This question has multiple correct options)
A. Capability
B. Ability
C. Transfer
D. Broadness

Answer 1

Hint: You may have seen as well as used the term bandwidth in various contexts. Recall each of them and thus find the various meanings that bandwidth has in all those contexts. Crosscheck them with given options in the question and hence find the synonyms of bandwidth from them. You may find more than one synonyms among the given options.

Complete step by step answer:
Bandwidth is one such term that is used in many contexts.
In computing, bandwidth is defined as the amount of the information that can be sent over a network connection every second. We could say that a broadband internet connection has high bandwidth.
Bandwidth can also be used to represent the capability and ability of a particular medium to transmit a set of frequencies.
We could define bandwidth of a resonant circuit as the total number of cycles around the resonant frequency for which the current is equal to or greater than 70.7% of its resonant value. We can determine the selectivity of a circuit by seeing the bandwidth. The narrower the bandwidth of a circuit is more selective the circuit becomes and similarly wider bandwidth means the circuit is less selective. So, here, in this context, bandwidth means broadness.
In no known context bandwidth has a meaning of transfer.

Therefore, we see that options A, B and D are correct.

Note:
In computing bandwidth means the rate at which data is transferred, you shouldn’t get confused and think that transfer is another synonym of bandwidth. In signal processing bandwidth is a measure of the width of a frequency range. Then we have coherence bandwidth that indicates the frequency range over which a channel is considered flat and then we have power bandwidth that represents the frequency range of an amplifier.
