  2. A bit-map terminal has a 1920 × 1080 display. The display is redrawn 75 times a second. How long is the pulse corresponding to one pixel?
  3. A high-end digital camera has a sensor with 24 million pixels, each with 6 bytes/pixel. How many pictures can be stored on an 8-GB flash memory card if the compression factor is 5x? Assume that 1 GB means 230 bytes.
