-converts physical phenomena to electrical signals and also convert electrical signals
into physical phenomena.
Physical Phenomena
- a natural phenomenon involving the physical properties of matter and energy.
Examples:
1. Gravity-Without gravity, it would be impossible to walk, or jump, or go skiing,
or sky diving.
2. Air pressure-If we had no air pressure, our internal blood pressure would
actually cause our human bodies to explode.
3. Light as a wave-Light is a wave, thus it undergoes diffraction (scattering),
reflection and refraction. Diffraction is what makes beautiful rainbows; reflection
is what allows us to see ourselves in the mirror dailly; refraction is what allows us
to look through magnifying glasses, microscopes and telescopes to discover the
wonders of the world much smaller or much further from us.
4. Sound-Sound is a wave that is carried through air and other materials.
Without sound, we would not have such beautiful music nor would we be able to
communicate by talking to each other.
5. Energy conservation- It is a simple principle that allows us to predict how
much energy we can obtain out of a machine.
