Question 1 (i)

The height/amplitude of the sound wave is measured...
... at regular intervals
... and converted to binary,

Question 1 (ii)

If the interval is smaller/if you sample more often you have more data to store...
... so the file is larger
but the sound reproduced is closer to the original
... so better quality.

Question 2 (i)

The amplitude/height of a wave is measured
At set intervals
And stored as a binary number
The samples form an approximated sound wave

Question 2 (ii)

The file size increases
So the sound us better quality/more accurate compared to the original.
