How Sound Travels Through Phones
Sound (a mechanical wave) is converted to electrical signals for transmission:
- Microphone – voice vibrates diaphragm, generating weak electrical signal.
- Amplifier – boosts signal strength.
- Speaker – amplified current drives electromagnet, vibrating diaphragm to recreate sound waves.
- Playback – sound emitted through earpiece or speakerphone.
Quality depends on microphone/speaker specs, acoustics, and network type.
