← ScienceWhich consequence results when resonant frequency creates mechanical strain within a quartz crystal oscillator?
A)Accurate clock signal is disrupted✓
B)Increased power conversion efficiency
C)Crystal lattice becomes more ordered
D)Oscillation amplitude remains constant
💡 Explanation
When at resonance, the piezoelectric effect generates an amplified electric field that mechanically deforms the crystal lattice; because cracks initiate along stress lines, therefore accurate signals are disrupted, rather than consistent amplitudes maintained.
