Question

Each pixel includes 3 colors; Red, Green and Blue. Each color uses 8 bits to store it's intensity. How many Bytes are needed for each pixel

Answer 1

Answer: 3 bytes

Explanation:

A Pixel uses 3 colors and each of these colors uses 8 bits to store their intensity.

One pixel will therefore have:

= 8 * 3

= 24 bits

1 byte = 8 bits

24 bits will therefore be:

= 24/8

= 3 bytes
