What is the difference between time-domain and frequency-domain representations of an audio signal?
- Time-domain represents the signal as a function of time, while frequency-domain represents it as a function of frequency.
- Time-domain represents the signal as a function of amplitude, while frequency-domain represents it as a function of phase.
- Time-domain represents the signal as a function of power, while frequency-domain represents it as a function of energy.
- Time-domain represents the signal as a function of waveform, while frequency-domain represents it as a function of spectrum.
