A digital hydrophone is used to monitor underwater seismic activity. The continuous analogue acoustic pressure waves are captured and converted into a binary format by measuring the wave's amplitude at discrete, regular intervals.
Define the term 'sample resolution' in the context of this digital audio conversion.
