K5-02: PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTAL - AUDIBLE

ID Code: K5-02
Purpose: Demonstrate that a piezoelectric crystal converts electrical impulses into physical vibrations.
Description: An electrical oscillation is converted into a mechanical vibration by a piezoelectric crystal. An audio frequency electrical oscillation from an audio oscillator (in this case a 3 KHz sine wave) is converted into a sound vibration by the piezoelectric crystal. This is a commonly technique commonly employed for creating ultrasound.
