Tuning Forks
Tuning forks are specialized two prong forks. They are made in different lengths and sizes to create specific notes when struck. They are used to help tune musical instruments.

How do you find the wavelength of a sound emitted by a tuning fork at 440 vibrations-second?
The wavelength (λ) times the frequency (f) is equal to the velocity. The speed of sound in air is roughly 340 meters per second. That number obviously depends on the temperature of the air, the percentage of humidity, and many other things.
If λf=v, then with some basic pre-pre-pre-algebra we can determine that λ=v/f.
So, time to plug in numbers. λ = 340/440. λ = .7727 meters, or more precisely, 17/22
What energy transformations occur in a tuning fork?
The arms of the fork are oscilllating, so the energy exchange is between potential energy in the elasticity of the arms of the fork, and kinetic energy during that part of the cycle when the arms are moving. There is also a constant loss of energy to atmospheric damping as the sound dies away.

What company uses two things that look like tuning forks in a circle?
3 tuning forks in a circle is Yamaha.
Which sound is more complex the button on the tone dialer or tuning fork?
I think it may be a unning fork
How are tuning forks used for hearing tests?
will vibrate at a set frequency to produce a musical tone when struck. The vibrations produced can be used to assess a person's ability to hear various sound frequencies.
If a tuning fork starts to vibrate when a certain not is played on the piano this is an example of?
sympathetic vibration
What tuning does motionless in white play in?
drop a, drop b and some songs like creatures in drop c but mostly drop b and a
Why tuning fork has frequency 128 256 512 etc?
Because they're designed that way. A tuning fork can be, well, "tuned" to have any desired frequency.
If these are for tuning musical instruments, they sound like very old tuning forks. The "middle C = 256 Hz" scale was in limited use at one time, but by modern standards (where the A above middle C is tuned to 440 Hz, or in some cases even higher) is a bit on the low side. Tuning your instrument to C=256Hz will make it sound "flat".
What do you do with the tuning forks on spyro dawn of a dragon?
You have to use Cynders "fear" power, but you have to be quick!

What is the crossing pattern produced when you dip both sides of the tuning fork called?
it is called an interference pattern.
Which person leads musicians in tuning their instruments in?
The concertmaster leads musicians in tuning their instruments.
What products can be found at ECS tuning?
The company ECS Tuning is in Wadsworth, Ohio and specializes in auto parts and accessories for European vehicles. They are affordable and offer global purchases.
harmonic resonance
What has more harmonics in its sound a tuning fork or guitar?
A guitar is a far more complex structure than a tuning fork, and has more harmonics. The whole design of a tuning fork is intended to give as simple and pure a sound as possible, since that is the easiest type of sound to use when you are trying to tune an instrument. You wouldn't want harmonics in a tuning fork.
What happens to the prongs so that the tuning fork makes a sound?
The resonance that is created by two prongs helps it vibrate longer so you have time to tune your instrument.
What fundamental characteristics of the sound produced by a tuning fork depends on its frequency?
The characteristics that determine the frequency with which a tuning fork will vibrate are the length and mass of the tines.
