10.

Define what is meant by "sampling rate", when converting an analogue sound into digital.

a)

How many samples of the sound is taken per second.

b)

How many samples of the sound is taken per minute.

c)

It is the gap between each of the points where the analogue sound is sampled.

d)

11.

Define what is meant by "sampling interval", when converting an analogue sound into digital.

a)

How many samples of the sound is taken per second.

b)

How many samples of the sound is taken per minute.

c)

It is the gap between each of the points where the analogue sound is sampled.

12.

Define what is meant by "sample size", when converting an analogue sound into digital.

a)

How many samples of the sound is taken per second.

b)

How many samples of the sound is taken per minute.

c)

It is the gap between each of the points where the analogue sound is sampled.

d)

13.

Describe how an analogue sound is converted into digital form.

a)

Samples of the amplitude are taken at regular intervals. Each sample is stored as a binary number to form an approximated sound.

b)

Samples of the wavelength is measured for the whole recording. This measurement is stored as binary numbers to form an approximated sound.

15.

With a sound wave, the shorter the amplitude...

a)

The louder the sound.

b)

The quieter the sound.

c)

The higher the pitch.

d)

The lower the pitch.

16.
