Which consequence results when imperfections disrupt crystal lattice periodicity in a piezoelectric transducer?

💡 Explanation

Imperfections disrupt the dipole alignment leading to reduced stress-induced charge separation, thus declining electromechanical coupling; this is *piezoelectric depolarization* because the generated voltage less directly reflects applied force, therefore efficiency decreases rather than improving impedance or mode clarity.
