CSEF · 2008 Mathematics & Software

Ernesto E. Nunez, Jr. · Fontana High School, Fontana, San Bernardino County

Overview

Objectives/Goals In this project I will investigate the relationship between the amount of information stored on a CD-R disc and the size of the "burn" by measuring with a ruler. Last there will be some questions I answered from my experiment, which you might have asked yourself. Methods/Materials The materials I used are the following: #I Computer #I CD burner (internal or external) #I About 10 blank CD-R discs #I A photo, music file, or folder about 100 MB in size #I Permanent marker #I Ruler with centimeters Results The CDs that I burned kept getting an area kept on getting higher. But there was a limit for the CD capacity. Conclusions/Discussion When I finished my experiment; I found out that the CDs had a limit as you can see in the graph on the top.

Summary statement

In my project I Burned CDs to find the measure of the information on them.

Help received
