In one of the encoding options, each character is encoded in 16 bits. Determine the information volume of the message from 512 characters to this encoding.

To determine the information volume of a message, it is required to multiply the known number of characters in it by the size of one character, which is 16 bits. Thus, we get:

512 * 16 = 8192 bits.

We translate the found size into bytes.

Since 1 byte contains 8 bits, we get:

8192/8 = 1024 bytes.

In kilobytes it will be:

1024/1024 = 1 KB.

Answer:

The informational volume of the message is 1 kilobyte.
