Digital Media can be based on Mathematical Operations that can be applied regardless of its interpretation

BIT: A BIT or Binary Digit is a unit of information in computing and telecommunications

BYTE: A BYTE is a unit of information in computing and telecommunications that mostly consists of 8 Bits

SAMPLE RATE: defines the number of samples per second taken from a continuous signal to form a discrete signal

The higher the colour depth, the broader the range of distinct colours, if the colour depth is affected so is the colour of the image

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1 BIT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  

********************** 24 BIT ********************

Sampling Rate does not affect still images like colour depth does because Still images do not produce a continuous signal like a video didgital media does.
