    The document discusses the theremin, an early electronic musical instrument invented in the 1920s. It was played without physical contact by moving the hands near antennas that controlled pitch and volume. The theremin gained popularity in films in the 1940s-1950s but declined as other electronic instruments emerged. Its inventor, Leon Theremin, returned to the Soviet Union in 1938 and was imprisoned for alleged anti-Soviet activities before being allowed to work at a Moscow music conservatory in the 1960s.

    PHOTOTRANSISTORS

    Inner Workings of
    Phototransistors
    Light enters the base
    region of the
    Phototransistor where hole
    electron pairs can be
    generated.
    Mainly occurs in the reverse
    biased base-collector
    Junction.
    The hole-electron pairs
    move under the influence
    of the electric field and
    provide the base current,
    causing electrons to be
    injected into the emitter
