2. What do you mean by the term pixel depth?

a) It is the number of bits used to represent each pixel in RGB space

b) It is the number of bytes used to represent each pixel in RGB space

c) It is the number of units used to represent each pixel in RGB space

d) It is the number of mm used to represent each pixel in RGB space

View Answer

Answer: a

Explanation: Images are represented in the RGB color model consist of three component images one
for each primary color. When fed into RGB monitor, these three images combine on the phosphor
screen to produce a composite color image. The number of bits used to represent each pixel in RGB
space is called the pixel depth.

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The term full-color image is used often to denote a 24-bit RGB color image. The total
