What is the difference between a geophone and an accelerometer?
Answers from the sources
Geospace Technologies
“A geophone measures velocity, while an accelerometer measures acceleration. Geophones are also passive devices that do not require external power to generate a signal, making them well-suited for many remote and battery-powered systems. The best sensor depends on the application’s frequency range, sensitivity, power requirements, and operating environment.”
