What would be the energy transformations that occur when one tuning fork makes another tuning fork vibrate?
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.
What is it called when you hit one tuning fork and you hold the other tuning fork up close to it and the both of the tuning forks vibrate?
harmonic resonance
Can you give me the word tuning fork in a sentence?
I can say tuning fork.
What is a tuning fork and how is it used?
tuning fork steel instrument in the shape of a U with a short handle. When struck it produces an almost pure tone, retaining its pitch over a long period of time; thus it is a valuable aid in tuning musical instruments.
Where can you purchase a tuning fork?
One could purchase a tuning fork from Amazon. However if one wants to visit a more specialised web site, one would probably want to go to Indigo. They cater for science, engineering or music tuning forks.
What can you get when you combine quartz sound magnets and a tuning fork?
A tuning fork combined with a quartz sound magnet.
How can one tuning fork's vibrations cause another tuning fork to vibrate?
Vibrations are transferred from one to the other through the air. If the two have the same frequency (or a very similar frequency), resonance will occur.
How did the tuning fork get its name?
It's purely descriptive: the item is fork-shaped and is used when tuning musical instruments.
When a tuning fork and a note are sounded together why do you loosen the string?
The purpose of a tuning fork is to know the exact pitch of a certain note, and then tune to that note. The string is probably loosened to match the pitch of the tuning fork.
Where can you get a tuning fork?
You can purchase a tuning fork on E-bay or any store/shop that sales musical instruments; such as pianos!
How waves are created and propagate when a tuning fork is struck?
Because of the tuning fork's vibrations. It creates compressional sound waves.
If one tuning fork vibrates at 340 Hz and a second one vibrates at 640 Hz which fork sends out a longer wavelength?
Lower frequency equates to a longer wavelength, so the 340 Hz tuning fork would emit a longer wavelength sound.
