Tuning Forks

In a simplistic way, pitches are nothing more than vibrations in the air. These vibrations happen at certain frequencies (the number of vibrations per second, measured in Hertz). The more vibrations per second the higher we perceive that pitch to be.

A440 is now the tuning standard - that means that that A, in the middle of the treble staff, vibrates 440 times per second, or at 440 Hz. A note an octave higher would vibrate at 880 Hz and an octave lower vibrates at 220 Hz. Most tuning forks are pitched at A440, but you can get other notes (and even other temperaments). Those other notes vibrate at different frequencies, so the number on the tuning fork correspond to the numbers of vibrations-per-second that tuning fork makes.

The (sound - vibration) energy is absorbed by the flesh.

Yes, a tuning fork with short prongs typically has a higher frequency than one with long prongs. This is because shorter prongs vibrate more rapidly, producing a higher pitch sound. In contrast, longer prongs vibrate at a lower frequency, resulting in a deeper pitch. Thus, the length of the prongs affects the frequency of the sound produced.

When a tuning fork vibrates, its prongs move back and forth rapidly, creating compressions and rarefactions in the surrounding air. These pressure changes propagate as sound waves, traveling through the air. The frequency of the vibrations determines the pitch of the sound, while the amplitude affects its loudness. Thus, the vibrations of the tuning fork transform mechanical energy into audible sound energy.

That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.

Kiss used Eb early on, then switched back and forth between Eb and E in the 80's (ex. Forever is in Eb, Lick it up is standard), and recently I they play live a quarter step down from standard and play both Eb and standard songs in that new tuning.

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.

If there is resonance, then making one vibrate will also make the other one vibrate in a noticeable way, since:* The vibrations are transmitted through the air, and

* Any such small effect is reinforced, over time, due to resonance.

You can purchase a tuning fork on E-bay or any store/shop that sales musical instruments; such as pianos!

Guitar. Tuning forks are a sine wave

It is a tuning fork whose vibrations are sustained (by hammering it continuously in a way similar to the break and make arrangement of electric bell) with the help of an electromagnet.

The resonance occurs by the frequent vibrations from the two objects. Since hitting tissue paper which is not a very rigid object does not vibrate it does not resonate.
