A tuning fork, which for many Guitarists, have been outdated by the modern electronic tuner, is a VERY accurate, non-electric, Y-shaped metal fork that you hold by its base. You strike it against a hard padded object such as your knee or palm to get it to ring. It then produces a single audible and very distinguishable pitch which is VERY stable (unlike some electronic tuners and pitchpipes). The fork's note typically rings for about 15 seconds until you strike it again.
Tuning Forks are also used in the medical field in various ways, however, due to their note stability, they make a reliable base for musicians to tune their instruments against.
Tuning forks come in various pitches, but A-440 (A above middle C on a piano) is considered "concert" or "standard" pitch. A-440 simply means that when struck, the fork resonates at 440 cycles per second which produces a perfect A note. 329.6 produces an E, and 523.3 produces a C.
I can say tuning fork.
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.
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.

harmonic resonance
It's purely descriptive: the item is fork-shaped and is used when tuning musical instruments.
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.
You can purchase a tuning fork on E-bay or any store/shop that sales musical instruments; such as pianos!
Because of the tuning fork's vibrations. It creates compressional sound waves.

The low-pitched tuning fork (C128) is used to test sensation of vibration. Higher pitched tuning forks are used in neurological examinations.
