Good day, my dear students! ☺
Today you will learn, relearn, and unlearn different things.
I wish you all the best as you journey with this fifth week of your lifelong learning
module.
All the best and enjoy learning! ☺
An early application of piezo transducer technology occurred during World War I with
the use of sonar, which used echoes to detect the presence of enemy ships. Small piezo
transducers were also mostly present in landline phones. They sat inside the ringer and
helped to generate a noticeable noise to alert people to incoming calls. In addition,
piezoelectricity finds a home inside quartz watches as well, which is what keeps them so
precise.
LESSON COVERAGE
For the week 5 of the learning module, YOU will be learning:
▪ Lesson 6: Piezo
Let’s find out how much you already know about the lessons. Encircle the letter that you think
best answers the question. Please answer all the items. After taking this short assessment, you
will see your score. Take note of the items that you were not able to correctly answer and look
for the right answer as you go through this learning module.
3. A "piezo buzzer" is basically a tiny speaker that you can connect directly to an
Arduino.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
4. The piezo has two legs, one is positive and the other one is negative.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
A piezo is an electronic device that generates a voltage when it's physically deformed by
a vibration, sound wave, or mechanical strain. Similarly, when you put a voltage across
a piezo, it vibrates and creates a tone. Piezos can be used both to play tones and to detect
tones.
Directions: Write down 2 new things that you learned about piezo.
