Air vibrates at frequencies between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz, which corresponds to the range of human hearing. Below 20 Hz is considered infrasound, and above 20,000 Hz is considered ultrasound.

When a turning fork vibrates over an open pipe and the air in the pipe starts to vibrate the vibrations in the tube are caused by resonance?

Resonance occurs when the natural frequency of an object matches the frequency of external vibrations, causing it to vibrate at maximum amplitude. In this case, when the tuning fork vibrates over the open pipe, the air inside the pipe starts to vibrate at a frequency that matches the natural frequency of the pipe, leading to resonance and amplifying the sound produced.


What is the ability of an object to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequency?

Resonance is the ability of an object to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequency. When an external force matches the natural frequency of an object, resonance occurs, causing the object to vibrate at an amplified level.


How fast or slow an object vibrates determines the?

The speed at which an object vibrates determines its frequency, which is measured in hertz (Hz). Objects that vibrate faster have a higher frequency, while objects that vibrate slower have a lower frequency.


When a sound wave causes an object to vibrate a its natural frequency is?

vibrate at its natural frequency. WHS AOEC


When marimba bars and columns vibrate at the same frequency what occurs?

When marimba bars and columns vibrate at the same frequency, resonance occurs. This amplifies the sound produced by the marimba bars as the columns enhance the vibrations. Resonance is a natural phenomenon that magnifies vibrations when objects vibrate at their natural frequency.

Meaning of high sounds?

High frequency (high pitch) sounds have a higher frequency than those of lower pitch. The air molecules of a high frequency sound, vibrate back and forth much more frequently.


How do you change the pitch of a kazoo?

A kazoo makes sound when air is moved based a membrane causing it to vibrate. The harder a person blows, the faster the air moves, making the membrane vibrate faster (at a higher frequency), resulting in a higher pitch coming out of the kazoo.

How can one tuning fork's vibrations cause another tuning fork to vibrate?

Vibrations are transferred from one to the other through the air. If the two have the same frequency (or a very similar frequency), resonance will occur.

How do you make a string vibrate quickly?

Shorter strings vibrate at a higher frequency than longer strings.


Do objects that vibrate quickly have lower frequency?

By vibrating quickly, the wave would have a high frequency.


If you make a musical instrument shortter will it have a high or low frequency?

That would surely depend on the specific instrument, and the way it produces its sound. Two examples:A shorter string will vibrate faster, and therefore produce a higher frequency.Similarly, the air in a shorter tube will vibrate faster, and therefore produce a higher frequency.
