Question

Which of the following best describes how wireless telephones are able to receive and produce sound from one person to another?

Answer 1

D.

Electromagnetic waves are received and then vibrate a speaker which produces sound waves.

Explanation:

The telephone has a receiver-transducer component that can receive electromagnetic wave - radio waves spectrum- and transform them into electric energy. This electric energy is then transformed into sound energy by a speaker. This is how we're able to listen to a phone call.

The opposite happens when we speak on the phone. The sound energy is transformed into electric energy by a microphone – the reverse of a speaker.  The transducer now changes the electric energy into electromagnetic waves that travel through space to the recipient in the phone conversation.
