Description:
Clap switch is a basic electronics mini-project, made with the help of basic components clap
switch has ability to turn on and of an electrical component or circuit by the clap of hand. It is
known as clap switch because the condenser mic which will be used in this project will have an
ability to take the sound having same pitch as the clap sound as the input. Although it does not
mean that the sound will have to be clap sound, it can be any sound having the same high pitch
as of clap. We can also say that it converts the sound energy into electrical energy because we are
giving an input to the circuit as a sound whereas the circuit gives us the output as a LED glow
(Electrical Energy).
Applications:
1-The major advantage of clap switch is that you can turn something on & off from any location
in the room while sitting on the Sofa by clapping our hands.
2-A clap switch generally used for a light, television, radio or similar electronic devices that the
person will want to turn on & off from bed.
