Which consequence results when gravitational and inertial forces equivalently affect an oscillating quartz crystal?

A)Frequency shift via the piezoelectric effect
B)Crystal fracture from resonant amplification
C)Increased thermal expansion of lattice
D)Enhanced electrical conductivity observed within

💡 Explanation

A frequency shift occurs because the crystal’s mass and its inertial resistance to acceleration are equivalent to gravitational attraction which produces strain, so the piezoelectric effect translates this to signal change; therefore, a frequency shift occurs, rather than the crystal fracturing under stress at anticipated operational parameters.
