2.

What is bit depth in digital audio?

a)

The number of bytes used to represent each sample of audio data.

b)

The frequency at which audio samples are taken.

c)

The duration of each audio sample.

d)

3.

Which audio file format is commonly used for CDs?

a)

MP3

b)

WAV

c)

4.

What is audio compression and why is it used?

a)

Audio compression is the process of removing all audio data from a file to reduce its size.

b)

Audio compression is the process of reducing the size of audio files without significantly affecting the quality of the sound. It is used to save storage space, reduce bandwidth usage, and improve transmission efficiency.

c)

Audio compression is the process of converting audio files into a different format.

d)

Audio compression is the process of increasing the size of audio files to improve sound quality.

5.

What is the advantage of digital audio over analog audio?

a)

Faster data transfer, more durable, and less susceptible to interference.

b)

Better sound quality, easier editing and manipulation, and lossless storage and transmission.

c)

Simpler technology, less power consumption, and smaller file sizes.

d)

Lower cost, wider compatibility, and longer lifespan.

6.

What is the relationship between bit depth and audio quality?

a)

Higher bit depth results in lower audio quality.

b)

Higher bit depth allows for higher audio quality.

c)

Bit depth has no impact on audio quality.

d)

Lower bit depth allows for higher audio quality.

7.

Which audio file format is commonly used for streaming music online?

a)
