How is data written to a CD?
A CD burner is used to write (burn) the data on a CD. It incorporates a moving laser quite similar to a CD player which is known as ‘Write Laser’. The Write Laser which is more powerful than the ‘Read Laser’, has the capability to alter the surface of CD instead of just bouncing the laser light off.
How does a CD Spin?
CDs spin at an angular speed of 500 rpm when read from the center and 200 rpm when read near the circumference. Besides having an angular velocity, the CD also has a constant linear velocity (CLV). The CLV of a CD has been standardized by Philips at 1.2 to 1.4 m/s. CDs are much more efficient than black records.

CD data is stored as a series of tiny indentations (pits), encoded in a tightly packed spiral track of pits moulded into the top of the polycarbonate layer. The areas between pits are known as ‘lands’. Each pit is approximately 100 nm deep by 500 nm wide, and varies from 850 nm to 3.5 μm of length.
How fast can a CD spin before it shatters?
The guys claim the critical spin rate for a CD is 23,000 rpm. Let’s see if we can get the actual spin rate for this shattering CD. Yes, I am going to use Tracker Video Analysis—it’s free and awesome (do I have to keep on saying this)?
Does a CD play from the outside in?
It is faster to read from the outside of the disc than from the inside. At the same rotational velocity (e.g. 10000 rpm), the linear velocity on the outside of the disc is higher than the linear velocity on the inside of the disc, resulting in higher performance towards the outside.
How do I copy my CD onto my computer?

What happens if you microwave a CD?
The aluminum in a CD will be vaporized by the microwaves; that vapor is an excellent conductor of electricity, and an electrical field will form. That electricity will then arc to other aluminum in the CD, which will vaporize; this will continue until all the aluminum has been vaporized.
