Most Tuning Forks are designed to resonate at 440 hertz when struck. That is the frequency of the A before middle C on a keyboard or the A string on a guitar, violin, etc. You just strike the tuning fork then adjust the tension on your A string until the string vibrates at the same frequency as the tuning fork. Then you tune the rest of your strings from the A string.
Hitting the tuning fork against a hard object causes it to vibrate. This creates sound waves which move through the air and hit your eardrum.
Most tuning forks play a concert A at 440 Hz
sympathetic vibration
300Hz is the natural frequency of the tuning fork hence if a sound wave of same frequency hits the fork then RESONANCE occurs
The air experiences a longitudinal pressure wave, which some might call a vibration, as it transmits sound from a tuning fork to the ear.
The frequency of a wave motion is the number of waves passing through a fixed position each second. Thus, the sound wave emitted from the tuning fork has a frequency of 384 Hz means that the fork is vibrating 384 times per second.
Guitar. Tuning forks are a sine wave
The some wave has the same frequency as the natural frequency of the tuning fork, the tuning fork is made to vibrate due to a process called resonance.

Loudness or volume.
It does get louder! It increases the amplitude of the sound wave

A tuning fork produces a sine wave and therefore has no harmonics so by default, yes.

Every object has a unique natural frequency of vibration. Vibration can be induced by the direct forcible disturbance of an object or by the forcible disturbance the medium in contact with an object (e.g. the surrounding air or water). Once excited, all such vibrators (i.e., vibratory bodies) become generators of sound waves. For example, when a rock falls, the surrounding air and impacted crust undergo sinusoidal oscillations and generate a sound wave.Vibratory bodies can also absorb sound waves. Vibrating bodies can, however, efficiently vibrate only at certain frequencies called the natural frequencies of oscillation. In the case of a tuning fork, if a traveling sinusoidal sound wave has the same frequency as the sound wave naturally produced by the oscillations of the tuning fork, the traveling pressure wave can induce vibration of the tuning fork at that particular frequency.Mechanical resonance occurs with the application of a periodic force at the same frequency as the natural vibration frequency. Accordingly, as the pressure fluctuations in a resonant traveling sound wave strike the prongs of the fork, the prongs experience successive forces at appropriate intervals to produce sound generation at the natural vibrational or natural sound frequency. If the resonant traveling wave continues to exert force, the amplitude of oscillation of the tuning fork will increase and the sound wave emanating from the tuning fork will grow stronger. If the frequencies are within the range of human hearing, the sound will seem to grow louder. Singers are able to break glass by loudly singing a note at the natural vibrational frequency of the glass. Vibrations induced in the glass can become so strong that the glass exceeds its elastic limit and breaks. Similar phenomena occur in rock formations.All objects have a natural frequency or set of frequencies at which they vibrate.
turning fork is not in inclined position in melde's experiment because in longitudinal waves , the particles of the medium moves in that direction in which the wave moves so in this situation we keep the turning fork perallel to the string and in transverse wave , we keep the turning fork perpendicular to string because in this the particles move perpendicular to the wave, and no situation is for inclined position .
