What is it called when you hit one tuning fork and you hold the other tuning fork up close to it and the both of the tuning forks vibrate?

harmonic resonance


What is a tuning fork and how is it used?

tuning fork steel instrument in the shape of a U with a short handle. When struck it produces an almost pure tone, retaining its pitch over a long period of time; thus it is a valuable aid in tuning musical instruments.


What does the tuning fork do to produce a sound wave in the air?

Most tuning forks are designed to resonate at 440 hertz when struck. That is the frequency of the A before middle C on a keyboard or the A string on a guitar, violin, etc. You just strike the tuning fork then adjust the tension on your A string until the string vibrates at the same frequency as the tuning fork. Then you tune the rest of your strings from the A string.


What happens to the sound when you hit a tuning fork and put it in a cupboard?

Oh, dude, when you hit a tuning fork and put it in a cupboard, the sound waves produced by the tuning fork will bounce around the enclosed space of the cupboard, creating a reverberation effect. This can make the sound seem louder and last longer due to the sound waves reflecting off the walls of the cupboard. So, like, it's basically like giving the sound a little echo chamber to hang out in for a bit.


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.

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

What happens to the sound made by the tuning fork if we hit the prongs harder?

If we hit the prongs of a tuning fork harder, the sound produced will be louder because a greater force causes the prongs to vibrate more intensely. This increased vibration amplitude generates sound waves with higher energy, resulting in a stronger sound. However, the pitch of the sound remains the same, as it is determined by the frequency of the vibrations, which does not change with the intensity of the strike.


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!"
