Binary Numbers Video

Why is binary code a reliable way for computers to store data?

• It uses complex algorithms that prevent data loss.

• It relies on transistors switching between two distinct voltage levels.

• It can represent an infinite range of values with high precision.

• It is easily understood by human programmers.

What is the fundamental difference in how decimal and binary number systems represent values?

• Decimal uses digits 0-9, while binary uses only 0 and 1.

• Decimal is based on powers of 10, while binary is based on powers of 2.

• Decimal is used for text, while binary is used for numbers.

• Decimal is for analog signals, binary is for digital signals.

What standard is commonly used to encode letters into binary for computers?

• ASCII

• UTF-8

• Decimal

• Pulse Code Modulation

How are continuous sound waves converted into binary data for computers?

• By assigning a unique binary code to each musical note.

• By measuring the frequency of the sound wave at regular intervals.

• By taking snapshots of their amplitudes at regular intervals and recording them as binary numbers.

• By translating the sound into a series of on/off electrical pulses.
