What is the relationship between the number on the tuning fork and the pitch of the tuning fork?

In a simplistic way, pitches are nothing more than vibrations in the air. These vibrations happen at certain frequencies (the number of vibrations per second, measured in Hertz). The more vibrations per second the higher we perceive that pitch to be.
A440 is now the tuning standard - that means that that A, in the middle of the treble staff, vibrates 440 times per second, or at 440 Hz. A note an octave higher would vibrate at 880 Hz and an octave lower vibrates at 220 Hz. Most Tuning Forks are pitched at A440, but you can get other notes (and even other temperaments). Those other notes vibrate at different frequencies, so the number on the tuning fork correspond to the numbers of vibrations-per-second that tuning fork makes.

When a tuning fork and a note are sounded together why do you loosen the string?
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.
Who was America's tuning fork?
The tuning fork allows for a standard of pitch for musicians that is very reliable and accurate. Before metal tuning forks, pitch was established using wooden pitch pipes. These pitch pipes were not particularly accurate or reliable.
What does Taylor Swift tune her guitar to?
instead of tuning your guitar in standard tuning with pitch = 440, you should tune it to pitch = 435, then it sounds excaclty when you play with taylor swift

What is the relationship between pitch and note in music?
The pitch of a note describes how high or low a note sounds.
Difference between tuning string instruments and tuning wind instruments?
The difference between tuning string instruments and wind instruments is that with string instruments, you must adjust the tension of the strings in order to tune/change the pitch. With wind instruments (most of the time), you have to pull a part of the instrument either in or out to change the pitch/tune (pulling it out would make the pitch lower, and pushing it in would make the pitch higher). For example, with a trombone, there is a tuning slide at the top that you can pull or push out. If you had a saxophone, you would have to pull out or push in on the mouthpiece. If you had a guitar (string instrument), however, there are tuning keys that you can turn to adjust the tension of the strings.
What is the relationship between the frequency of a sound wave and its pitch?
It's a direct relationship; higher frequency gives you a higher pitch.

What seems to be relationship between the frquency of a sound wave and the pitch of the sound you hear?
There is a direct relationship. The higher the frequency, the higher the perceived pitch.

What is the relationship between frequency and picth?
the number of waves that passes a given point in one second is called frequency pitch is related to loudness or amplitude of sound
Is there any relationship between size and pitch of a snare drum?
If the drum is larger, most likely that the pitch is lower.
How come guitar strings make lower pitch sounds than other guitars and how can you change that?
The pitch of the string is altered by adjusting its tension via the tuning keys. You can turn the tuning key one direction to increase the pitch or turn it the opposite directly to lower the pitch.
What is the relationship between pitch and amplitude?
they are inversely proportional when the speed of the wave is constant
