## Questions & answers
### [What is a geophone?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/geospace-technologies-q116275554#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c8cbffa156017e-a-62df2bed5ac71d1a27cc)
“A geophone is a velocity sensor that detects ground motion or vibration and converts it into an electrical signal. Geophones are commonly used in seismic exploration, industrial monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, security, research, and other applications that require precise motion detection.”

### [How does a geophone work?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/geospace-technologies-q116275554#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c8cbffa156017e-a-48117270270d497bb403)
“A geophone uses a coil and magnet to convert mechanical movement into an electrical signal proportional to velocity. Because this process is self-generating, Geospace geophones can detect and measure motion without requiring external power.”

### [What is the difference between a geophone and an accelerometer?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/geospace-technologies-q116275554#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c8cbffa156017e-a-da19160aa20d73067cfc)
“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.”

### [Do geophones require power?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/geospace-technologies-q116275554#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c8cbffa156017e-a-0f06f19b8dd2b43262af)
“No. Geospace geophones are passive, self-generating sensors and do not require external power to produce a signal. This can help reduce overall system power requirements and extend battery life in remote monitoring applications.”
