Exam points

  • Trace how incident light generates a potential difference at each CCD pixel before analogue values become digital data.
  • Explain how CCD signal conversion preserves a spatial light pattern for quantitative image analysis.

S1.2 Technology question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

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.
