Light Buzz

(II)

Turn on the switch (S1). If there is

enough light on the phototransistor

(Q4), then nothing will happen. Cover

the phototransistor with your finger,

now the speaker (SP2) makes noise

and the color LED (D8) flashes. Wave

your fingers over the phototransistor to

vary the sound.

Use the preceding circuit, but

replace the 0.1mF capacitor (C2)

with the larger 1mF capacitor (C7).

The sound is different now.

Turn on the slide switch (S1), and push the press switch (S2). The color

and white LEDs (D6 & D8) come on slowly but will stay bright for a long

time after you release the press switch. Connect the red jumper wire

across points A & B if you get tired of waiting for the LEDs to turn off.
Replace the 5.1kW resistor with the 100kW resistor. Now you have to

push the press switch for much longer to make the LEDs bright.
Replace the 100mF capacitor (C4) with the smaller 0.1mF capacitor (C2).

Now the LEDs turn on and off much faster, because C2 does not store

as much electricity as C4.
