Structure of a CD Surface: Pits and Lands.

Illustration of a CD with a magnified view of the surface showing pits and lands, representing data storage.

This detailed illustration explains the surface structure of a compact disc (CD), focusing on the “pit” and “land” areas where data is stored. Ideal for high school physics and technology textbooks, this image provides a clear, visual representation of how information is encoded and read on a CD. It helps students understand optical data storage systems, a key topic in modern technology education.
