Phonograph vs. Photograph — What's the Difference?

A phonograph, in its later forms also called a gramophone (as a trademark since 1887, as a generic name in the UK since 1910) or since the 1940s called a record player, is a device for the mechanical recording and reproduction of sound. The sound vibration waveforms are recorded as corresponding physical deviations of a spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of a rotating cylinder or disc, called a "record".

A photograph (also known as a photo) is an image created by light falling on a photosensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic image sensor, such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a smartphone/camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see.

A machine that reproduces sound by means of a stylus in contact with a grooved rotating disk.

A picture made using a camera, in which an image is focused on to light-sensitive material and then made visible and permanent by chemical treatment, or stored digitally

A device that captures sound waves onto an engraved archive; a lathe.

Take a photograph of

A device that records or plays sound from cylinder records.

An image, especially a positive print, recorded by exposing a photosensitive surface to light, especially in a camera.

A record player.

To take a photograph of.

(dated) A character or symbol used to represent a sound, especially one used in phonography.

To practice photography.

To record for playback by phonograph.

To be the subject for photographs

To transcribe into phonographic symbols.

A picture created by projecting an image onto a photosensitive surface such as a chemically treated plate or film, CCD receptor, etc.

A character or symbol used to represent a sound, esp. one used in phonography.

To take a photograph (of).

An instrument for the mechanical registration and reproduction of audible sounds, as articulate speech, etc. It consists of a rotating cylinder or disk covered with some material easily indented, as tinfoil, wax, paraffin, etc., above which is a thin plate carrying a stylus. As the plate vibrates under the influence of a sound, the stylus makes minute indentations or undulations in the soft material, and these, when the cylinder or disk is again turned, set the plate in vibration, and reproduce the sound.

To fix permanently in the memory etc.

An instrument for reproducing sounds, especially music, previously recorded on a plastic cylinder or disk as a pattern of bumps or wiggles in a groove. A needle (stylus) held in the groove is made to vibrate by motion (rotation) of the recording, and the vibrations caused by the bumps and wiggles are transmitted directly to a membrane, or first to an electronic amplifier circuit, thereby reproducing with greater or less fidelity the original sounds. A phonograph which is equipped with electronics enabling the playback of sound with high fidelity to the original is often called a hi-fi.

(intransitive) To appear in a photograph.

Machine in which rotating records cause a stylus to vibrate and the vibrations are amplified acoustically or electronically

A picture or likeness obtained by photography.

To take a picture or likeness of by means of photography; as, to photograph a view; to photograph a group.

To practice photography; to take photographs.

A picture of a person or scene in the form of a print or transparent slide; recorded by a camera on light-sensitive material

Record on photographic film;

Undergo being photographed in a certain way;
