Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is meant by bit depth?
A
The number of samples taken per second
B
The amplitude of each sample
C
The number of bits used per second of audio
D
The number of bits used to store each sound sample
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The audio bit depth determines the number of possible amplitude values we can record for each audio sample. The higher the bit depth, the more amplitude values per sample are captured to recreate the original audio signal. The most common audio bit depths are 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit.

Detailed explanation-2: -bit depth is the number of bits available to represent each sample. For example, a sample with a bit depth of 4 could be 0101 or 0111 or 1010. A sample with a bit depth of 8 could be 01010110 or 1010110 or 11001111. A common bit depth is 16 bits.
