What vibrates between the tuning fork and the eardrum to carry the sound?
The air experiences a longitudinal pressure wave, which some might call a vibration, as it transmits sound from a tuning fork to the ear.
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.
What happens when a tuning fork that is still vibrating touches a wooden desk?
the vibrations made by the tuning fork cause the paper to preduce a humming sound.
How does a string to make its sound?
It vibrates. The vibrations move through the dtring, then though the air and into your ear. In the ear the eardrum vibrates.
What does the tuning fork do to produce a sound wave in the air?
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.

Why will a struck fork sound louder when it is held against a table?
it amplifies them because the table vibrates as well as the tuning fork

What happens to matter when sound travels through it?
It vibrates.
What is sound pitch?
Pitch is the frequency at which an object vibrates to create a sound. A tuning fork, for example, that vibrates 440 times a second will produce a perfect "A" note. It is these predetermined levels of frequencies that pitch is categorized into the twelve chromatic musical tones.
Does sound vibrates better through air or solids?
Solids.

Why does your vioce sound different when you sing on a mic then when you sing without a mic?
because when you hear your voice normally, the vibrations are going through your organs and bones (a solid). That sounds different then hearing a sound that vibrates through the air, and when you talk into a microphone, the sound vibrates through the air.
What is the mediam through which the sound travels in drum?
When you hit a drum the skin vibrates creating a sound wave which travels through the air.
What does the sound travel through when the tuning fork is not touching the desk?
air
