Why does it take much less space to store digitalinformation than analog information?a. Digital devices only record pieces of sound waves, not full waves. b. Digital devices record sounds at lower volumes thananalog devices. c. Digital devices decrease the amplitudes of soundwaves, making them smaller. d. Digital devices automatically eliminate all backgroundnoise from the sounds they record.

Two polarizers are oriented at 40∘ to each other and plane-polarized light is incident on them. if only 16 percent of the light gets through both of them, what was the initial polarization direction of the incident light?

Asheet of steel 1.5 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 1200oc and is permitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. the diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in steel at this temperature is 6 x 10- 11 m2 /s, and the diffusion flux is found to be 1.2 x 10-7 kg/m2 -s. also, it is known that the concentration of nitrogen in the steel at the high-pressure surface is 4 kg/m3 . how far into the sheet from this high-pressure side will the concentration be 2.0 kg/m3 ? assume a linear concentration profile.
