The Digital Wave

The video explores the evolution of communication from written correspondence to modern digital methods. It explains the role of signals, both analog and digital, in transmitting information. The video highlights the reliability of digital signals over analog ones, using TV service providers as an example. It also delves into the conversion process of signals in phone calls and the importance of binary code in data representation. The video concludes by encouraging further exploration of wave technology.

Which of the following is NOT a modern method of communication mentioned in the video?

• Text messaging

• Hand-delivered letters

• Email

• Video conferencing

What makes digital signals more reliable than analog signals?

• They are transmitted by hand

• They encode data in ones and zeros

• They are less affected by weather

• They use continuous waves

How do digital signals improve television service?

• By reducing the number of channels

• By providing higher quality and more channels

• By requiring less equipment

• By using analog waves

In the process of making a cell phone call, what happens to the analog waves you create when you speak?

• They are stored for later use

• They are sent directly to the other phone

• They are converted to digital signals

• They are amplified and sent as analog waves

What is the primary role of binary code in digital communication?

• To convert digital signals to analog
