Piezo-electric quartz crystals are used to define the frequency in a crystal-controlled oscillator. Quartz is a hard material that tends to oscillate mechanically at a high frequency (up to about 20 MHz) when maintained by the maintaining amplifier. The signal produced is far more stable and predictable than an L-C oscillator, especially when the crystal is placed in a dedicated oven with a controlled temperature.

For aquartz cristal of length 0.05mcalculate the fundamental frequency of oscillation in a piezo-electric oscillator if the velocity of longitudinal waves in the crystal is 5.5 x 1000 ms?

The fundamental frequency of oscillation in a piezoelectric oscillator is given by the formula f = v/2L, where v is the velocity of longitudinal waves in the crystal and L is the length of the crystal. Plugging in the values, we get f = (5.5 x 1000)/(2 x 0.05) = 55000 Hz. So, the fundamental frequency of oscillation in the piezoelectric oscillator is 55000 Hz.
