Unuit 3: Data Representation: Sound

Question 1

The number of representations of wave taken at regular intervals is called the?

Answer 1

Sample Rate

Sample Rate refers to how frequently samples of a waveform are taken in a given time frame.

Question 2

The number of bits taken per a sample is called the?

Answer 2

Bit Rate

Bit Rate indicates the amount of data processed per unit of time in digital audio.

Question 3

If you increase the sample rate you also?

Answer 3

Increase the file size

Higher sample rates result in more data being captured, thus increasing the overall file size.

Question 4

If you increase the Bit resolution you also?

Answer 4

Increase the quality

Increased Bit resolution allows for a greater dynamic range and more detail in audio quality.

Question 5

If you increase the bit rate and the sample rate you?

Answer 5

Increase the quality and increase the file size

Both increased bit rate and sample rate enhance audio fidelity but require more storage space.
