⦁ Why microprocessor uses the binary number system and not the decimal or any other number system? How microprocessors deal with text, computer program, images, audio and video type of data using only binary number systems? (4 marks)
Answers
Explanation:
Aloha !
General Binary Octal Decimal and Hexadecimal Number Systems are used in microprocessor system.
Thanking you mate,.

Microprocessor:
A microprocessor is a type of electronic gadget that only knows how to turn on and off. It employs the binary number system (0, 1), which represents two distinct voltages. One is classified as low voltage, while the other is classified as high voltage.
Explanation:
On a computer, data can be represented in a variety of ways, including as a picture, text, sound, and so on.
Text:
Text is made up of characters, the symbol can be regarded the simplest text element.
The text can be expressed as a set of numbers if you collect all of the potential characters that may exist in the text.
Letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and so on, and assign a unique number to each of these characters then the text can be written as a set of numbers.
Picture:
The image is made up of many different coloured points (pixels). You can encode each colour with a specific number, specify the pixel location, and present the image as a series of numbers.
One data point per pixel is used to create an image. You move the video 25 or 30 times per second to make it move.
Sound:
A wave is represented by sound. It is important to capture the amplitude at specific intervals in order to replicate the sound. If the intervals are shorter, the sound description will be more accurate.
Final answer:
All of this information can be represented as numbers, which can be expressed in binary form.
