turning fork is not in inclined position in melde's experiment because in longitudinal waves , the particles of the medium moves in that direction in which the wave moves so in this situation we keep the turning fork perallel to the string and in transverse wave , we keep the turning fork perpendicular to string because in this the particles move perpendicular to the wave, and no situation is for inclined position .

How does the rod vibrate in melde's experiment?

The string in Meldes experiment can be made to vibrate in several ways. In most schoolphysics experiments the devices are: 1) loudspeakertype vibrator, where a rod is connected to a loudspeakermembrane and transmits the oscillations to a wire mounted on the end of the rod. 2) small DC-motor with an arm attached to the rotor. The string is attached to the arm, which moves up and down 3) electrical vibrator with coils and vibrating metalblade. The string is attached to the metalblade. In each case the device is driven by a signal-generator that outputs a harmonic electric signal.


What are the uses and applications of Meld's experiment?

Melde's experiment teaches us creation of standing waves. I think we can create a great product of neutralising the sounds by creating sounds with same wave length and frequency as the source. ex: if you know exactly the frequency of any machine ( say an aeroplane flying over your building every day during take off and landing) and if you can measure the wave length of sounds that machine creates..create a product that can create similar waves in opposite direction.so that they undergo mechanical interference and the machine sound is neutralised. Bingo!
