Title: Explain the conversion of acoustic energy to electrical energy and back to acoustic energy.
Course: Audio Production and Recording I (05123-IA) > Section: Exploring the Science of Sound

Explanation should include

- the use of a transducer (i.e., microphone, a guitar pickup)
- amplification of microphones and musical instruments
- storage of electrical information that represents sound
- playback using a transducer (i.e., speaker, headphones).

Process/Skill Questions:

- How does a microphone work? What is the principle of capacitance?
- How do headphones convert electrical energy into mechanical wave energy?
- What causes distortion of sound when using transducers (i.e., headphones, microphones)?
