Question

2. (* 22 pts) The concept of discretization helps convert an image to a sequence of 0s and 1s. See slides 48-58 of the lecture notes (available after lecture on September 26). Give an example of a quantity that must be discretized when converting a music file to Os and 1s. Explain your response must be disecretiznd when comwertiner

Answer 1

Sound can be represented as a longitudanal wave. For a computer to read sound in binary code, it is needed for perform some conversions using the concept of discretization. The first step, is converting sound signal into electrical signal using an equipment, such as a mic (if its not a sound file). This electrical analog signal is continuous and cannot be used for processing purposes. Second step is to the pass the electric signal into and ADC (Analog to digital convertor). The result of this is the binary format of a sound file.
