Computer Science for IGCSE & O level - Data Representation (Section 11 - No. 41)
What is sampling rate, and how does it relate to sound quality?
The number of samples per second. A higher rate means better sound quality.
The amplitude of a sound wave. A higher rate means worse sound quality.
The frequency of a sound wave. A higher rate means better sound quality.
The time interval between samples. A higher rate means worse sound quality.
Explication
Sampling rate is the number of samples taken per second. A higher sampling rate provides a more accurate representation of the original sound wave, thus increasing sound quality.
