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.

A 1056-Hz tuning fork is sounded at the same time a piano note is struck You hear three beats per second What is the frequency of the piano string?

Could be 259 Hz.Could be 267 Hz.


What frequency would you hear with a 340 Hz tuning fork near a guitar string vibrating at 350 Hz?

340 hz is the pitch or note that is sounding. It's the times the string would vibrate per second. By 350 hz guitar, I would get you would be playing a note on the low E string and it would sound sharp to the tuning fork. You would hear a subtle beat or pulsing when sounded together. That beat would get slower and slower as you loosened the string to bring the pitch down until it quit altogether. Your would then have that note tuned to 340 hz. BTW...standard tuning is called A440 meaning that the A note is tuned to 440hz.


Beats are produced when two tuning forks one of frequency 240 Hz and the other of frequency 246 Hz are sounded together The frequency of the beats is?

6Hz


What feature of sound are you adjusting if you tighten or loosen guitar strings?

Tightening the strings increases the pitch, loosening them lowers it. This is because you are changing the length of the string as you turn the tuning pegs.
