In the part of the phone that you talk in to there is a diaphragm that vibrates so it can change the vibration into digital signals.

What part of a telephone detects sound and wave?

In a standard non-electronic telephone the transmitter is wired between the two incoming wires of the telephone line. A 'carbon granule' transmitter consists of a small tube filled with carbon granules with a piston at one end attached to a diaphragm. Sound waves cause the diaphragm to vibrate and compacts or loosens the granules altering their electrical resistance in sympathy with the sound. This modulates the line current and is received at the telephone exchange via a transformer called a 'transmission bridge'.

What is a carbon telephone transmitter?

What you are describing is a carbon microphone. This consists of a diaphragm behind which are placed granules of carbon. When the diaphragm vibrates due to variations in sound waves, it acts to compress the carbon granules -thus varying the resistance of the carbon granules as a whole. This variation in resistance is used to modify a current which is then amplified.


How did Thomas Edison improve the telephone that Alexander Graham Bell invented?

Bell & Watson's telephone had a parchment diaphragm. Thomas Edison recognized that if the diaphragm were replaced with a conductive medium it would have far greater transmission strength, and possibly better clarity. Edison developed a compressed carbon disc which was indeed superior to Bell's parchment design, and later improved it by baking the carbon. Apparently this later version was used in telephones for much of the 20th Century.

How the diaphragm helps the lungs?

Your diaphragm contracts and expands when you breath. When the diaphragm contracts, air rushes into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, air is exhaled.


How does a receiver convert an electrical wave into a sound wave in a standard telephone set?

It is the speaker in the phone that makes the conversion of the mechanical energy of sound into electrical energy. Use the link to a related question that explains this. It's the one that says, "How does a microphone work?"


When you breathe in does the diaphragm do?

When you breathe in, your diaphragm contracts. This makes the diaphragm move lower and increases the area in your lungs.
