What can you get when you combine quartz sound magnets and a tuning fork?
A tuning fork combined with a quartz sound magnet.
What happens to the sound when you hit a tuning fork and put it in a cupboard?
The sound would be muted if a tuning fork is hit and then placed into a cupboard.
What has more harmonics in its sound a tuning fork or guitar?
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 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
What vibrates between the tuning fork and the eardrum to carry the sound?
The air experiences a longitudinal pressure wave, which some might call a vibration, as it transmits sound from a tuning fork to the ear.

How waves are created and propagate when a tuning fork is struck?
Because of the tuning fork's vibrations. It creates compressional sound waves.

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

What fundamental characteristics of the sound produced by a tuning fork depends on its frequency?
The characteristics that determine the frequency with which a tuning fork will vibrate are the length and mass of the tines.
What does the sound travel through when the tuning fork is not touching the desk?
air
What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine in a tuning fork?
Loudness or volume.
Which sound is more complex the button on the tone dialer or tuning fork?
I think it may be a unning fork
What happens when a tuning fork that is still vibrating touches a wooden desk?
the vibrations made by the tuning fork cause the paper to preduce a humming sound.
Does the sound on a tuning fork get louder if you hit it harder?
It does get louder! It increases the amplitude of the sound wave
