	A)the fidelity with which the detail of an image is reproduced. When the image is sharp(i. e. has definite lines and boundaries), the definition is said to be good; b)the degree with which a communication system reproduces sound images or messages; c)the fidelity with which the pattern edges in a printed circuit(conductors, inductors, etc. )are reproduced relative to the original master pattern.
