What else can I help you with?
On a CD the area that separates the pits is a mountain?
Flats, or lands.
Are the pits and the flats on a CD are examples of information stored as a digital signal?
True
Are CD-RWs as stable as CDs?
No, because in a CD-RW the pits and flats that make up the data are constantly being changed, which means the disc's surface has to be much more flexible and impermanent.
A group of flats is called?
Flats are arranged in Blocks
How do a CD drive interface with a PC?
A CD has microscopic pits and ridges that a CD drive can read. In order to read these pits, the drive has a laser that fires at the bottom of the CD and detects those pits and ridges. It then sends that raw data to the computers proccesser or motherboard, which decodes the data into a form the computer can use.
What are the flat spots on a CD called?

How does a CD player read a CD?
The CD disc is a 'sandwich' of a thin layer of metal and plastic. (The metal is the 'meat' - the plastic is the 'bread'. The metal layer has music recorded on it by a laser - which creates microscopic 'pits' in the surface. The CD player has a (less powerful) laser - which reads the pits - and converts the data into music.

How is information stored and recived from a CD?
Information on a CD is stored as tiny indentations, or pits, on the surface of the disc, which represent binary data. A laser in the CD player reads these pits and the flat areas between them (lands) as it spins the disc. The variations in reflection caused by the pits and lands are converted into electrical signals, which are then processed to retrieve the stored information, such as music or files. This process allows for accurate data retrieval and playback.
