Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "sampling rate" refers to the number of times per second that a signal is measured or sampled in the process of converting analog audio to digital. A higher sampling rate, such as 48 kHz (meaning 48,000 samples per second), allows for more accurate representation of the original sound wave and therefore higher-quality audio. However, this also results in larger file sizes. The other answer choices are not relevant to this concept.
