17
Q

If the binary code for “A” was 65 what would be the code for “D”?

A

68

18
Q

Describe how a character set would be used to store the string “Hello world!” (2)

A

Each character in a character set has a unique binary value. (1) The binary values of each character are recalled in order. (1)

19
Q

How are images stored in binary? (3)

A

The image is split up into pixels. (1) Each pixel is given a binary code. (1) Which represents the colour of that pixel. (1)

20
Q

What is metadata? (1)

A

Data about data. Data about an image / sound file.

21
Q

What might metadata store about an image? (2)

A

Height (1) width (1) colour depth (1) resolution (1) author (1)

22
Q

What is the impact of increasing colour depth on an image file? (2)

A

More colours will be available (1) file size will increase (1)

23
Q

What is the impact of increasing resolution of an image file? (2)

A

More pixels will be used, increasing the detail of the image. (1) The file size will increase (1)

24
Q

How is sound stored in binary? (2)

A

The height of the sound wave is sampled at regular intervals (1) and converted to binary (1)

25
Q

What is the impact of increasing the bit depth on an audio file? (2)

A

The sound reproduced will be closer to the original (1) but file size will increase (1)

26
Q

What is the impact of increasing the sample rate of an audio file? (2)

A

The wavelength is sampled more often so the sound reproduced will be closer to the original (1) but file size will increase (1)
