The frequency of vibration depends on several factors with length being an important one. Stiffness and shape are some others.

What would be the energy transformations that occur when one tuning fork makes another tuning fork vibrate?

The some wave has the same frequency as the natural frequency of the tuning fork, the tuning fork is made to vibrate due to a process called resonance.


Why does a struck tuning fork sound louder when its handle is held against the table?

That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.

A tuning fork starts to vibrate when a certain note is played on the piano this example of?

This example illustrates the phenomenon of resonance. When the specific frequency of the piano note matches the natural frequency of the tuning fork, it causes the tuning fork to vibrate. This occurs due to the transfer of energy from the sound waves to the tuning fork, amplifying its vibrations. Resonance is a key principle in acoustics and explains how certain objects can respond to specific frequencies.


If a tuning fork starts to vibrate when a certain not is played on the piano this is an example of?

sympathetic vibration


How can one tuning fork's vibrations cause another tuning fork to vibrate?

Vibrations are transferred from one to the other through the air. If the two have the same frequency (or a very similar frequency), resonance will occur.


Why can tuning fork sounds be made louder by standing them on an empty wooden box?

a wooden surface is better for a tuning fork rather than, say, a metal surface because the wood vibrates less than metal, and doesn't interfere with the vibrations of the fork. rubber is probably the best surface to hit a fork on.
