    What is Sample Rate and Bit Depth of a commercial CD?

    • 14 bit 16kHz

    • 16 bit 44.1kHz

    • 24 bit 96kHz

    Correct Answer
    A. 16 bit 44.1kHz
    Explanation
    A commercial CD typically has a sample rate of 44.1kHz and a bit depth of 16 bits. The sample rate refers to the number of samples taken per second to capture the audio, while the bit depth determines the dynamic range or the number of possible amplitude levels that can be represented. In the case of a CD, the sample rate of 44.1kHz allows for accurate reproduction of audio frequencies up to 20kHz, which is the upper limit of human hearing. The 16-bit bit depth provides a dynamic range of around 96 dB, ensuring high-quality audio playback.
