Encoding Sound Flashcards
1
Q
Analogue Signal
A
Continuous sounds that constantly change and do not have defined ranges. Often represented as waves.
2
Q
Digital Signal/Data
A
they have defined ranges and can only take certain values (discrete values).
3
Q
Sampling
A
recording a signal at regular intervals
4
Q
Sampling Rate/Frequency
A
the number of samples per second taken from a continuous sound to create a digital sound. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
5
Q
Sampling Resolution/Sample Size
A
The number of bits per sample.
6
Q
Amplitude
A
The power (loudness) of a signal. The greater the amplitude, the greater the ‘energy’.
