Practise IB Physics HL S1.2 Technology by tracing how CCD pixels convert incident light into potential differences and digital values, then explaining what the signal represents…
This question is in two parts. Part 1 is about solar power and climate models. Part 2 is about digital storage of data.
A charge-coupled device (CCD) enables large amounts of photographic data to be captured and stored.
Outline how the image on a CCD is digitized.
a potential difference is developed across each pixel;
the potential difference is converted into a digital signal/binary number;
