A microphone is a transducer - meaning it converts sound in a physical space into electrical energy displayed by a waveform.
A speaker does the opposite: It converts electrical energy into a physical sound.
Think about what happens in a microphone as that's what a microphone does.
Thomas Edison invented the carbon microphone in 1877
loudspeaker of telephone: electrical to sound energy microphone of telephone: sound to electrical energy
The sound waves cause a diaphragm in the microphone to vibrate. The mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy.
A velocity microphone is a sensor whose electric output depends on the velocity of the air particles that form a sound wave . Examples are a hot-wire microphone and a ribbon microphone (bi-directional).Velocity-sensitive microphones also respond much more to wind noise than pressure sensitive microphones (omnis). You get heavy bass tip-up or proximity effect if the sound source is close to the microphone. Cheers ebs
