• The number of bits used to store each sound sample

Which of the following is true if you decrease the bit rate? (3-6)

• File size increases
• Sound quality increases
• Sound quality decreases

The amplitude of a sound wave is… (6-9)

• how high the wave is from the crest or trough
• the frequency at which it is sampled
• the speed at which it travels through air
