The resolution of this image is 600⨉400. This means that:
it consists of 600 pixels and 400 colours
it consists of 240,000 pixels
It requires 5,760,000 bits to be represented
It requires 2,400,000 bytes to be represented
You check the file "Properties" (or "Get Info") of an image and see that its size is 800kB (kilobytes). Select an equivalent size from the list below:
800kb (kilobits)
800,000 bytes
100kb (kilobits)
800,000,000 bytes
800 billion bytes
You calculate the representation size that an image is supposed to have - 24MB. You find that the actual size is much smaller than you expected ~ 3.2MB. What one word explains this?
countering
bit depth

4,000
4,000,000
40,000,000
The technical specifications of your new phone report that it has an 8-megapixel camera. What does that mean?
The camera can capture images with a file size of 8 megabytes.
The camera can capture images with a resolution of 8 thousand pixels.
The camera can capture images with a bit depth of 8,000,000.
Select the definition that you find most appropriate for the colour depth of an image:
How many different colours there are in the image
How ‘sharp’ the image is
How many pixels the image consists of
How many binary digits are used to represent the colour of each pixel
Select the definition that you find most appropriate for the resolution of an image:
How many different colours there are in the image
How ‘sharp’ the image is
How many pixels the image consists of
How many binary digits are used to represent the colour of each pixel
Between two images, the one with the greater resolution:
Will be ‘sharper’, i.e. more detailed
Will have more colours
Will be larger in size, i.e. require more bits to be represented
All of these
Between two images, the one with the greater colour depth:
Will be ‘sharper’, i.e. more detailed
Will have more colours
Will be larger in size, i.e. require more bits to be represented
All of these
Select the scenarios below where we might choose to use images with a low resolution.
Printing photographs on paper
Keeping an archive of images on a limited size storage device
Selecting images to be used on a website; it's important that the website be fast to load
Using image editing software to manipulate images on a slow computer
Using image editing software to perform professional-level image manipulation
In this image, the colour of each pixel is either black or white. How many binary digits are required to represent the colour of each pixel?

The BBC Micro computer (1981) was capable of displaying images at a resolution of 600⨉256, using 3 bits to represent the colour of each pixel. How many different colours was it capable of displaying?
=600x256x3
=8
=(600x256x3)/8
=16
The Commodore 64 computer (1982) had a resolution of 320⨉200, using 4 bits to represent the colour of each pixel.

Select the definition that you find most appropriate for the sampling rate of digitised sound:
How good the ‘quality’ of the sound is
How many samples the sound consists of
How many samples per second the sound consists of
How many binary digits are used to represent the sound
Select the definition that you find most appropriate for the sample size of digitised sound:
How good the ‘quality’ of the sound is
How many samples the sound consists of
How many samples per second the sound consists of
How many binary digits are used to represent the sample
Between two pieces of digitised sound, all other things being equal, the one with the greater sampling rate:
Will be perceived as having better ‘quality’
Will be able to capture more ‘levels’ of sound
Will be larger in size, i.e. require more bits to be represented

All of these
You go out into the woods to record sounds of birds. You set the sampling rate on your digital recorder to 40,000 samples per second and the sample size to 16 bits per sample. You are lucky enough to come across a nightingale, and you capture a stereo recording of its singing for 90 seconds. How many binary digits are required to represent that sound? (use a calculator if you need to)
115,200,000 bits
57,600,000 bits
640,000 bits
3,600,000

A friend tells you that an audio CD can store up to 80 minutes of sound. You are reluctant to believe this, as you know that you can copy hundreds of your MP3 files onto a CD, and that would definitely be more than 80 minutes of sound. You are both right. Use one single word to explain this.
