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.
