Question

List and describe the steps of energy transfers that occur that allow a digital recording to be played through a speaker and ultimately become sound waves.

Answer 1

electrical energy ⇒ mechanical energy ⇒sound energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The digital recording first of, exists in the form of electrical energy. The conversion process begins with the loud speaker. This is the transducer responsible for converting electrical energy into sound.

The loud speaker coverts this electrical energy into mechanical energy, through some coils and magnetic fields which cause a cone to vibrate. This vibration of the speaker cone is what produces the sound waves that we can hear.

In summary, we have

electrical energy ⇒ mechanical energy ⇒sound energy
