A guitar is a far more complex structure than a tuning fork, and has more harmonics. The whole design of a tuning fork is intended to give as simple and pure a sound as possible, since that is the easiest type of sound to use when you are trying to tune an instrument. You wouldn't want harmonics in a tuning fork.

A tuning fork produces a sine wave and therefore has no harmonics so by default, yes.

Do you tune an electric guitar with an amp?

No, you do not tune an electric guitar with an amp. Tuning an electric guitar is done by adjusting the tension of the strings to the correct pitch using a tuner or tuning fork. The amp is used to amplify the sound of the guitar, not to tune it.

How are sound waves generated in air by a tuning fork?

When a tuning fork is struck, it vibrates and creates compressions and rarefactions in the air, which travel as sound waves.


What is the frequency of the tuning fork sound?

The frequency of a tuning fork sound refers to the number of vibrations it makes per second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).


How waves are created and propagate when a tuning fork is struck?

Because of the tuning fork's vibrations. It creates compressional sound waves.

A tuning fork of frequency 300Hz will resonate if a sound wave incident on it has a frequency of what?

300Hz is the natural frequency of the tuning fork hence if a sound wave of same frequency hits the fork then RESONANCE occurs


Does a bigger tuning fork make a lower sound?

Yes, a bigger tuning fork generally produces a lower sound. This is because larger tuning forks have longer vibrating arms, which result in lower frequencies when they vibrate. Lower frequencies correspond to lower pitches in sound. Therefore, as the size of the tuning fork increases, the pitch of the sound it produces typically decreases.
