The only Knight Rider I know of is the car from the show. Is that what you are doing something based on?
 
My guess is the project is to have red LED's that cycle left and right in a pattern the way they did on the Firebird called KITT in Knight Rider. Not sure why they would expect students to know about a show made in the 1980's. Video of Knight Rider intro:



Video of a model KITT:

What exactly do you need help with?
 
I meant that I have to describe about it to the teacher, what it actually is, what are its applications etc.

I don't understand what you are asking us. Have you built something but can't describe it? Have you yet to build something because you don't know the application of it? What? We need you to be more specific and explain exactly what you need help with.

the problem is that i don't know meaning , uses, applications of knight rider

I don't know what this means. Uses, applications, meanings of the car, the technology, how you can use it today, what?

Edit: OMG this was my 1,000th post! Wooo me!

Telling you again,I want to know
Actual meaning( why is it called knight rider), where is it used (its applications), & any additional information about it. I have designed the project completely, just need some additional information (written above) to explain it.
Did u get mee?
 
You can start with the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Rider_(1982_TV_series )

Look dude,

It's called Knight Rider because the man driving the car was named Michael Knight. And he was the rider of the car.

The application was to impress viewers of the TV show so they would keep watching and see the TV commercials.
