Because the vibrations resonate through solid objects.

Does a tuning fork vibrate because of resonance?
It can, if there's another source of sound nearby, vibrating at the natural frequency of the tuning fork. Example: Two tuning forks with the same natural frequency. The first one can be set vibrating by whacking it against the edge of the table, whereupon the second one will vibrate because it resonates with the first one.
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.
A tuning fork of frequency 256Hz is vibrating near another tuning fork A beat pattern of frequency 6.6Hz is produced What can you say about the frequency of the second tuning fork?
Sounding two tuning forks at once will not give you one frequency. The "sound" that you hear will be a harmonic combination of the two frequencies. However because of acoustics the higher one (266Hz) will seem more prominent than the other.
What is the Weber test?
the Weber test. For this test, the stem or handle of the vibrating tuning fork is placed at various points along the midline of the skull and face.
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.

What is the waveleght of a tuningfork?
If it's vibrating in air, then the wavelength of the sound it produces is(343) divided by (the tuning fork's frequency) meters
How do you produce sounds?
sound produced through the vibrating object .
What 3 ways can you change pitch?
Replace the nitrogen & oxygen air with helium and oxygen. tighten the tension on the vibrating thing (e.g., string) make the vibrating thing smaller, thinner. (e.g., tuning fork)
What happens when you double the frequency of a vibrating object?
It is a bit difficult to answer that question without knowing what vibrating object you are talking about. For example, if you double the frequency of a vibrating tuning fork, you get a higher pitch. If you double the frequency of a vibrating electron, you get a different and more energetic type of electromagnetic radiation, for example you could shift from visible light to ultraviolet light.

How do you use tuning fork?
if u hit it on a wooden desk (like a classroom desk) it will vibrate and you can see and feel the vibration of a tuning fork like that. If u touch it ur finger/hands will keep it from vibrating . ur welcum 4 telling u d answer! "peace!"
Why dont you touch your teeth with a vibrating tuning fork?
The vibration may very well break your teeth.
Does the strength to strike the tuning fork effect the speed of sound in a vibrating air column?
No The strength you strike it will affect the overall volume, or intensity or amplitude of the sound. However, the speed of vibration (frequency or pitch) will remain constant. That is the point of a tuning fork. It can be used to tune musical instruments because it has a reproducible frequency or pitch.
