Which outcome occurs when an oscillating voltage is applied across a piezo crystal?

A)Acoustic wave emission occurs in material
B)Uniform expansion despite field gradient
C)Crystal resonance increases impedance greatly
D)Dielectric breakdown is catastrophically bypassed

💡 Explanation

Acoustic wave emission occurs because of the piezoelectric effect, which causes lattice deformation and vibrational wave generation; therefore sound waves are emitted, rather than uniform thermal expansion or a gross dielectric breakdown, which could occur under other extreme conditions.
