Detailed explanation-1: -Data is stored on the disc as a series of microscopic indentations called “pits", with the non-indented spaces between them called “lands". A laser is shone onto the reflective surface of the disc to read the pattern of pits and lands.
Detailed explanation-2: -Optical data storage is a method of storing digital information (1’s and 0’s) by using light to read the information. Analog information is converted into digital information, which is then encoded onto the disc from the inside edge out. Digital data are encoded by means of pits on the recording layer of the disc.
Detailed explanation-3: -A CD-ROM drive uses a low-power laser beam to read digitized (binary) data that has been encoded in the form of tiny pits on an optical disk. The drive then feeds the data to a computer for processing. The standard compact disc was introduced in 1982 for digital audio reproduction.
