    Study Notes

    Digital Information

    • Digital information is stored as a sequence of zeros and ones, called binary numbers.
    • This method allows for efficient and clear representation and transfer of data.
    • Each zero or one is a bit. A bit can either be present or absent.

    Example

    • The number 13 in binary is 1101.
    • A one represents a bit, a zero represents a bit that isn't present.
    • Digital signals are often transmitted using electromagnetic waves. The zeros and ones change the properties of these waves during communication.
