30. The indentions on CDs and DVDs
are called:
a) lands
b) pits
c) clusters
d) tracks
CD data is represented as tiny
indentations known as "pits", encoded
in a spiral track
moulded into the top of the
polycarbonate layer. The areas
between pits are known as
"lands". As the CD spins over the laser,
the laser reads the digital code on the
CD's
surface (digital code is made up of 1′s
and 0′s) . The numbers are "encoded"
by tiny
indentations, called pits, that
determine whether the laser reads a
number 1 (on) or a
number 0 (off). The pits and lands
themselves do not directly represent
the zeros and
ones of binary data. Instead, non-
return-to-zero, inverted encoding is
used: a change
from pit to land or land to pit indicates
a one, while no change indicates a
series of zeros.
If the laser passes over the pit, it
reflects back to the CD player and
reads the digital
number 1. If not, then it reads a 0.
There are millions of these pits, which
make up the
enormous digital code on every CD.
The data indentations on a DVD are
smaller than those on a CD, this is the
main reason
