audio file saved as audioname.mp3 Video file saved as videoname.mp4 or video name.ogg Similarly html file is saved as filename.html or filename.htm to ease the browser to recognise the filetype of file. Here .mp3 .mp4 .off .html .htm these are called extension.

So the browser knows, that it is a markup file that it can translate into graphical webpage by reading the HTML inside.
