Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Colour depth defines ____
A
How many bits are needed to store each pixel
B
How many pixels are in an image
C
The file size of a bitmap image
D
The sample rate of sound
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In high-color systems, two bytes (16 bits) are stored for each pixel. Most often, each component (R, G, and B) is assigned 5 bits, plus one unused bit (or used for a mask channel or to switch to indexed color); this allows 32, 768 colors to be represented.

Detailed explanation-2: -A color image is typically represented by a bit depth ranging from 8 to 24 or higher. With a 24-bit image, the bits are often divided into three groupings: 8 for red, 8 for green, and 8 for blue. Combinations of those bits are used to represent other colors.
