The accelerometer is used as a transducer to measure earthquake in Richter scale. Its design is based on the principle that Correct Answer its natural frequency is equal to the frequency of vibration

Natural frequency need to be equal to frequency of vibration so that resonance exists and it should show the indication of earthquake.
