Best Answer

The tranducer/microphone converts the vibrations of the waves into electrical audio signals, the vibrations cause a diaphragm inside the transducer to vibrate which in turns create pulses of current that can be interpreted later as the recorded audio.

What part of a telephone detects sound and wave?

In a standard non-electronic telephone the transmitter is wired between the two incoming wires of the telephone line. A 'carbon granule' transmitter consists of a small tube filled with carbon granules with a piston at one end attached to a diaphragm. Sound waves cause the diaphragm to vibrate and compacts or loosens the granules altering their electrical resistance in sympathy with the sound. This modulates the line current and is received at the telephone exchange via a transformer called a 'transmission bridge'.
