A type of PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory) called EPROM (Eraseable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a chip that, after being programmed, can be exposed to strong ultraviolet light in order to erase it. They're recognized by the transparent window on the top surface through which you can see the silicon chip. It's through this window that UV enters to erase the chip.

What chips are erasable by ultraviolet rays after removing them from the main circuit?

EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) chips can be erased by exposing them to ultraviolet (UV) light after they have been removed from the main circuit. This exposure helps clear the programming on the chip, making it ready for reprogramming.

How are the characteristic a ROM chip different from those of a RAM chip?

A RAM Chip (Random access memory) loses it's stored information when power is lost. A RAM chip can have data written to it. A ROM Chip (Read Only memory) does not lose it's information when power is lost, but it cannot be written to* * There are different types of ROM... ROM (Read Only memory) gets "burned" and cannot be changed. PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) (not sure if they're used much any more) can be erased by exposing to ultra-violet light and re-programmed. EPROM (Electrically Programmable Read Only Memory) - can be re-written electrically with special software.
