How does a message go from one digital device to another? Reorder the following.
You type a text message to a friend.
Your phone translates your message into binary code.
Your message gets modulated onto an electromagnetic carrier wave to your friend.
Your friends phone demodulates the carrier wave.
And translates the binary code back to the language the text was sent in.
Digital waves look like (a) They can look smoother by increasing the (b) of digital data, such as (c) . The higher the sampling rate the higher the (d) or clearness of the image or sound.
Look at the image provided and describe what is happening in at least 5 sentences. Make sure to include the vocabulary we've learned about waves.
