Question

an analog - to - digital converter is a device that can be used with a microphone to take in an audio input (for example, the sound from a trumpet). the device then converts the information to a digitized form that can be stored and used by a computer. the image below shows the steps in the conversion process. the number track in the image represents how the data is stored after it is processed by the analog - to - digital converter.
how is the information from the audio wave stored after it is processed by the analog - to - digital converter?

• it is stored as graphs because it was converted to base ten data
• it is stored as a series of ones and zeros because it was converted to binary data
• it is stored as images because it was converted to mathematical equations
• it is stored as a table of ones and tens because it was converted to a radio wave

Explanation:

An analog - to - digital converter (ADC) takes analog information (like the audio wave here) and converts it into digital form. Digital data is represented in binary, which is a series of 1s (ones) and 0s (zeros). The other options are incorrect: storing as graphs (first option) or images (third option) or a table of ones and zeros from a radio wave (last option) does not match how digital data from an ADC is stored, and mathematical equations (second - last option) are not the storage format for this converted audio data.

Answer:

It is stored as a series of ones and zeros because it was converted to binary data
