1.

Is 'real' sound analogue or digital?

a)

Analogue

b)

Digital

2.
How is sound caused?
a)
By playing it through a hi-fi with speakers
b)
Vibrations travelling through air, water or metal.
3.
The amplitude of a sound wave is....
a)
How high the wave is from the crest or trough
b)
The frequency at which it is sampled
c)
The speed at which it travels through air
4.
The pitch of the wave is shown by.....?
a)
The closeness of the wave
b)
The height of the wave
5.

Define what is meant by 'sampling'

a)

Height of the wave is measured, at intervals and stored as binary.

b)

The number of samples taken each second

c)

 The number of bits used per second of audio

d)

The amount of information required to describe one second of a sound.

6.
Define the term 'sample rate'.
a)

Height of the wave is measured, at intervals and stored as binary.

b)

The number of samples taken each second

c)

 The number of bits used per second of audio

d)

The amount of information required to describe one second of a sound.

7.

Define what is meant by 'bit depth'

a)

Height of the wave is measured, at intervals and stored as binary.

b)

The number of samples taken each second

c)

 The number of bits used per second of audio

d)

The amount of information required to describe one second of a sound.

8.

Define what is meant by 'bit rate'

a)

Height of the wave is measured, at intervals and stored as binary.

b)

The number of samples taken each second

c)

 The number of bits used per second of audio

d)

9.
Which three factors affect the quality of an audio clip?
a)
Bit rate and bit depth
b)
Bit rate, bit depth and number of pixels
c)
Sample rate, analogue, number of pixels
d)
Sample rate, bit rate and bit depth
10.
How do you calculate the bit rate of a digital audio file?
a)
Frequency x channels
b)
Frequency × bit depth × channels 
c)
Bit depth x channels
d)
Channels x 2 x bit depth
11.
How does bit rate affect the quality of an audio clip and file size?
a)
The higher the bit depth, the higher the quality of the audio, but the larger the file size
b)
The more bits that are sampled the better the accuracy of the file but also the greater the file size. 
c)
Greater the frequency of the samples, the better the sound quality.
12.
How does bit depth affect the quality of an audio clip and file size?
a)

The higher the bit depth, the higher the quality of the audio, but the larger the file size

b)

The more bits that are sampled the better the accuracy of the file but also the greater the file size. 

c)

Greater the frequency of the samples, the better the sound quality.

13.

b)
The more bits that are sampled the better the accuracy of the file but also the greater the file size. 
c)
Greater the frequency of the samples, the better the sound quality.
14.

Sample rate is measured in....?

a)

Bits per second (bps)

b)

Hertz (Hz)

c)

Megabits per second (Mbps)

15.
What piece of hardware would you use to input sound into a computer?
a)
Speaker
b)
Analogue to digital converter
c)
Microphone
d)
Digital to analogue converter
16.
How does bit rate affect the quality of an audio clip and file size?
a)
The higher the bit depth, the higher the quality of the audio, but the larger the file size
b)
The more bits that are sampled the better the accuracy of the file but also the greater the file size. 
c)
Greater the frequency of the samples, the better the sound quality.
17.

Identify the formula to calculate the bit rate for ONE second of audio

a)

= sample rate x bit depth x number of channels

b)

Width (in pixels) * Height (in pixels) * Colour depth
