Wave Communication

Front

What is the main difference between digital data and analog data?

Back

Digital data can be stored for a longer period of time than analog data.

Front

Why do we see distant events before we hear them?

Back

Light travels faster than sound.

Front

How is audio wave information stored after being processed by an analog-to-digital converter?

Back

It is stored as a series of ones and zeros because it was converted to binary data.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy in waves?

Back

A wave with a large wavelength will have a low frequency and low energy.

Front

Why do music studios prefer digital technology for recording?

Back

Digital technology can store information more reliably than analog technology.

Front

Define wavelength in the context of wave communication.

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave.

Front

What is frequency in wave communication?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second.

Front

Explain the concept of amplitude in waves.

Back

Amplitude is the height of the wave, which determines the loudness of sound.

Front

What is the speed of light compared to the speed of sound?

Back

The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound.

Front

What does an analog-to-digital converter do?

Back

It converts analog signals into digital data.
