Image: Klipsch Summary: Waves are known to carry energy, but they can carry messages, as well. Signals are made by a transmitter. From there, the signals are sent to a receiver. The receiver then converts these signals into a message. Signals can be either digital or analog and the difference is that digital signals are like small pulses (like made with the slinky) whereas analog signals are ongoing waves (like from the activity). An example of analog vs digital in this instance could be represented by a clock. An analog clocks ticks which is an ongoing movement, while a digital clock changes time every so often. Fun Fact: More complex messages can be sent through a digital format by sending more pulses, but in order for this to happen, it takes time. This is why when you are streaming in a higher resolution or downloading an image in a high resolution it takes more time than something of lower resolution.

     The music industry, a popular and ever-growing business, has and will continue to push an ultimatum upon all who wish to enter it. Digital or Analog? Although both forms have benefits and consequences, using analog technology for an "original" sound is too much to pay for the drawbacks that follow. "Analog recordings can be more...natural sounding," says Charmain2010 in Analogue Vs Digital: Advantages Vs Disadvantages paragraph 2. However, according to Dave Mustaine in the video Analog or Digital? (1993) created by PastVid, "The reason people who use analog, try digital and say digital is no good...it's because they can't play." (2:29) . As a recording artist, hoping to pursue a career in which my music can flourish, I would like to record my music in a digital format.      Editing music in an analog format is a tedious task, both time consuming and frustrating. Digital editing techniques make it so "it is far easier to edit, you can...

Image: Summary: If an item is analog technology, it is most likely an analogy of something. For instance, an analog watch is an analogy of time, but just because an item is considered analog does not mean that it contains dials and pointers. In fact, something that is analog is just not digitized. Before the 20th century practically everything was analog from film cameras and recording tapes. Digital technology is a representation of a sound or picture, etc. that is transmitted into numbers so it can be shown or saved digitally. Science has had a major shift towards digital technology and items of digital technology include multimeters, thermometers, and blood pressure meters. Digital technology, more often than not, works faster and is easier to comprehend compared to analog technology. Although digital technology has its benefits, there are some instances in which analog technology would be preferred. S&EP- Arguing from Evidence: Once my tablemates and I had completed cond...

Question:  Right Answer: False Explanation: The correct answer is false to the statement "Light is a mechanical wave" because light is an electromagnetic wave. Light is an electromagnetic wave because it doesn't need a medium to pass through. Question: Right Answer: reflection Explanation: This is because the wave is bouncing off of a surface which is the act of reflecting. Reflection is the bouncing back of light, heat, or sound while diffraction is when a beam of light or another type of wave is "spread out" because it traveled through a small opening or on an edge. Following the definition, it would mean that the answer would be reflection. Question:  Right Answer: Second Beaker (Solid) Explanation: The second beaker is the correct answer because the molecules are compacted in a manner that sound waves can travel quickly. Part of the reason that sound waves can travel quickly in this particular beaker is that there are no gaps betwee...

Image: Summary:  Sound waves are mechanical waves or a vibration of molecules. Sound waves move energy not matter. Pitch is the highness or lowness of the sound created whereas volume is how loud or quiet a sound is. Frequency is how many 'cycles' of a wave occur in one second, the amplitude is how large a wave is from the middle to the crest and the wavelength is the measure from crest to crest. Pitch is related to frequency because the higher the frequency the higher the pitch is. A sound wave that has a bigger wavelength will have a low frequency, low pitch, and low energy. Electromagnetic waves are electric and magnetic fields that move through space extremely fast. The electromagnetic spectrum is the whole range of electromagnetic waves that are in order based on increasing frequency.
