40KHZ ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCER EQUIPMENT KIT

The 40Khz Ultrasound Transducer Equipment Kit is for conducting experiments on geometric and wave-mechanical acoustics. Based on the piezo-effect discovered by the Curie brothers, an AC voltage is applied to a piezoelectric body causing it to oscillate. Sound waves can also be used to excite the body and the oscillations can be converted into an electrical voltage signal.
