Extra exam question E8A03

Which of the following describes a signal in the time domain?
- A.Power at intervals of phase
- B.Amplitude at different times (correct answer)
- C.Frequency at different times
- D.Discrete impulses in time order
WhyA signal in the time domain is described by its amplitude at different times. A signal described in the time domain is described by its amplitude at different points in time, the familiar oscilloscope-style view of a waveform, as opposed to a frequency-domain view that shows amplitude across a range of frequencies instead, answer B. "Power at intervals of phase," "frequency at different times," and "discrete impulses in time order" don't correctly describe what a time-domain representation actually shows.
