In the speaker's phone handset, the speaker's voice (sound energy) is converted to electrical energy, sent down the wire, then converted back to sound at the listener's handset.

A basic system can be assembled from a pair of speakers connected to each other. This is because speakers can also work as microphones. Try it if you have a couple speakers laying around.

The details of an actual phone system are of course much more complex than the pair of speakers, but they all need the sound pickup and playback elements for us humans to communicate with each other (at least until they implant electrodes in our heads!)

Why does sounds travel in a telephone?

The microphone turns your voice into an electrical signal - which then travels down the wires to the destination phone - where it's turned back into sound again.


Why there is a current in telephone wire?

A current flows in telephone wires primarily to transmit voice and data signals. When a person speaks into a telephone, their voice is converted into electrical signals, which travel along the wire to the receiving end. This electrical current allows for the modulation of signals, enabling clear communication over long distances. Additionally, the current is necessary for powering components like the telephone's ringer and signaling functions.

Graham Bell was able to invent and develop the telephone due to his great dedication to studying which of the following?

Graham Bell's invention of the telephone was greatly influenced by his dedication to studying sound and speech, particularly the mechanics of how sound waves travel and how humans communicate. His background in teaching the deaf, along with his experiments in transmitting voice over wires, played crucial roles in his development of the telephone. Additionally, his work in acoustics and understanding of electrical currents also contributed significantly to his invention.


Why is sound made when the wind blows through telephone wires?

1.The wind blows hard to create a sound so when the wind blows the wires start shaking and making another sound so together they make a loud sound. 2. When the wind blows through the telephone wires the wind blows the wires forcing them to vibrate. so technically because the wind makes the telephone wires vibrate. your welcome.
