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

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (300 million meters/sec) / (1.760 GHz) = 17 centimetersDivide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (cycles/second). The answer will be in meters.


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

resonance


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

Well, you basically already stated in your question what would happen. As a result of resonance, the second object will also vibrate.


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.


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.

standing waves


What is the physical standard used to establish the length of a second?

a crystal when cut to specific dimensions will vibrate at a particular frequency when an electric potential is applied across it. The length of the second is standardized by the Cs crystal.


At how many cycles per second does a human vibrate?

A human typically vibrates at a frequency range of 12-20 cycles per second, known as the human audible range. This range corresponds to the frequencies of sound waves that the human ear can detect as audible sound.
