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.

Does a tuning fork vibrate because of resonance?

It can, if there's another source of sound nearby, vibrating at the natural frequency of the tuning fork. Example: Two tuning forks with the same natural frequency. The first one can be set vibrating by whacking it against the edge of the table, whereupon the second one will vibrate because it resonates with the first one.


What has the lowest frequency short wave or long wave radio?

Short wave frequency has a shorter wave length. Frequency is defined as number of cycles per second. If you have shorter waves (measure from peak to peak) you can get more of these packed into one second, so the frequency is higher.


What is frequency in recording?

The unit of frequency is hertz (Hz) that means 1/second. For example, the frequency of 1 Hz means that an event repeats once per second, 2 Hz is twice per second, and so on. This unit was originally called a cycle per second (cps), which is still sometimes used. Heart rate and musical tempo are measured in beats per minute (BPM). Frequency is not only used in recording.


What is the wavelength of radio waves transmitted by a radio station with a frequency of 1760 million cycles per second?

To determine the wavelength of the radio waves, we can use the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. The speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second. Converting the frequency to hertz gives us 1.76 x 10^9 Hz. Plugging these values into the formula, we get a wavelength of approximately 0.17 meters or 17 centimeters.


What frequency is a C note of the third octave?

The frequency of a C of the fourth octave is approximately 261.626 Hz.

What occurs when an object vibrating at or near a resonant frequency of a second objct causes the second object to vibrate?

When an object vibrates at or near the resonant frequency of a second object, it causes the second object to vibrate with increasing amplitude due to resonance. This phenomenon results in a transfer of energy from the first object to the second object, leading to more intense vibrations.


What process occurs when an object vibrating at or near a resonant frequency of a second object causes the second object to vibrate?

This is called resonance. When an object vibrates at or near the resonant frequency of a second object, it causes the second object to absorb energy and vibrate with greater amplitude. This phenomenon can lead to amplification of the vibrations and sometimes structural damage if not controlled.


What is it called when vibrations cause a second object to vibrate?

When vibrations from one object cause another object to vibrate, it is called resonance. Resonance occurs when the natural frequency of the second object matches the frequency of the vibrations of the first object, resulting in increased amplitude and sustained vibrations in the second object.


If a loudspeaker has a frequency of 120 Hz how often does it vibrate?

120 Hz means a vibration 120 cycles per second.


Do the length or size of a vibrating object has no effect on pitch?

The pitch of a vibrating object is primarily determined by its frequency of vibrations, which is the number of cycles per second. The length or size of the object can affect the frequency and pitch it produces, as longer or larger objects typically vibrate at lower frequencies, producing lower pitches, and vice versa.


What occurs when an object vibrating at near the resonant frequency of the second object causes the second object to vibrate?

The vibrations are called sympathetic vibrations or sympathetic resonance.


When an object vibrating at near the resonant frequency of a second object cause the second object to vibrate when what occurs?

The vibrations are called sympathetic vibrations or sympathetic resonance.


What occurs when an object vibrating at or near a resonant frequency of a second object causes second object to vibrate?

The vibrations are called sympathetic vibrations or sympathetic resonance.


What happens when a vibrating object causes a second object to vibrate also?

When a vibrating object causes a second object to vibrate, it transfers its energy to the second object. This energy causes the particles in the second object to move, leading to vibrations and the creation of sound waves. The frequency and amplitude of the vibrations depend on the characteristics of the vibrating objects.


What is vibration frequency of phone?

The vibration frequency of a phone is typically around 60 to 120 Hz, meaning it vibrates 60 to 120 times per second. This vibration frequency is what creates the buzzing sensation when your phone is set to vibrate mode.


How fast does a sound vibrate?

Every second, it vibrates once for every Hertz of its frequency.


What is vibration of one object causes the vibration of another called?

When the vibration of one object causes another object to vibrate as well, it is called resonance. Resonance occurs when the natural frequency of the second object matches the frequency of the vibrating first object, causing it to absorb energy and vibrate in sympathy.
