Sound of electricity
chemical property
The sound is introduced into the narrow end of the megaphone, by holding it up to the face and speaking into it, and the sound waves radiate out the wide end. The megaphone increases the volume of sound by increasing the acoustic impedance seen by the vocal cords, matching the impedance of the vocal cords to the air, so that more sound power is radiated. It also serves to direct the sound waves in the direction the horn is pointing. It somewhat distorts the sound of the voice because the frequency response of the megaphone is greater at higher sound frequencies.
Carbon is a resistor, meaning it conducts electricity, but not very well.carbon microphone consists of two metal plates with a layer of small grains of carbon between. Each metal plate is attached to a wire which connects it to an audio receiver.A current runs from one plate through the carbon to the other plate. The carbon molecules normally resist it somewhat, lowering the power flow. When a sound wave pushes down on the top plate, however, it squeezes the carbon molecules more tightly between the two plates. This increases their conductivity, creating more electric current. As the plate moves up and down with the sound wave, the current increases and decreases, creating an electric wave in the shape of the sound wave.
FM also known as frequency modulation is preferred because of the more concise ability to transfer quality sound at the expence of distance. Also FM is not as severely effected by weather as its lower frequency AM counterpart.
