The circuit in this project allows you to hear
alternating current. You probably know that the
electric power running through your home is an
alternating current. All your appliances that receive
power from electric outlets operate on AC -
including lamps. Lamps actually flicker at the rate of
60 times per second, but it looks constant because
our eyes see after images. In this project you will
hear sound converted from light.
Ready to start? After building this circuit, turn on the
power to your kit by setting the switch to A. Place the
CdS cell near an electric lamp. Can you hear a
hissing sound coming from the earphone? This is
the sound of the alternating current. Now place the
CdS cell under a fluorescent lamp, and listen for a
similar sound.
This circuit greatly amplifies the signals of light on
the CdS cell through the operational amplifier.
Adjust the quantity of light on the CdS cell with your
hand. You can probably hear the volume of the
hissing sound reduce and the quality of the sound
improve. See what happens when you expose the
CdS to sunlight.
