OBSERVATIONS, DATA, FINDINGS and RESULTS
Part 1
Fig. (5) Shows the output of the first circuit. In both tested frequencies, the Vp-p did not
change. However a change in the phase was observed with a value of 179°. Also, for this
experiment a lot of noise was observed.

Part 2.
The offset applied and modulated with the variable resistor moves the sinusoidal wave up
and down without affecting it, although there is evident noise at the moment the variable
resistor is turned and gets closer to both edges.

Part 3
When the voltage increases, the LED increases its brightness (this occurs when we turned
clockwise the resistor). On the other hand, the brightness decreased when the voltage
decreased (this occurs when we turned counter-clockwise)
Using a frequency of 1 Hz it was possible to see a little blinking at low voltages.
Part 4
In this experiment we transmitted light signal, in this case one LED transmitted light and
the other received it. Due to we set too many elements in our circuits, was not possible to
connect both LEDS correctly, so we only did a successful transmission through the use of
optical fiber. For the case of audio transmission we did a successful work even though a
little noise was presented.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

The audio transmission was much more effective using the operational amplifier than with
the diodes we used in previous projects due to the properties of the components.
In this experiment it gets really complicated at the end due to the amount of cables that
should be connected, so organizing all circuits from the beginning should have been
better.
