How A tuning fork produces sound by?

sympathetic vibration


What happens to the prongs so that the tuning fork makes a sound?

The soundreverberatesbetween the two prongs which creates certain frequencies based off of the force put into the start of the sound and the amount of vibration that follows.

How much does a tuning fork vibrate a minute?

It depends upon the tuning of the fork. The tuning is measured in Hertz, or cycles per second. If it is tuned to 440 Hz (the key of A) the fork would vibrate 440 hz x 60 seconds = 26400 cycles per second. Forks tuned to different frequencies will givemdifferent results.


Is radio frequency infinite?

No. The radio frequency of each station you listen to is the number shown on the tuning dial of your radio . . . like the AM station at 780 thousand per second, or the FM station at 98.5 million per second, or the 'short-wave' foreign broadcast station at 7.1 million per second. (Cellphones and GPS receivers don't have tuning dials, but they listen for signals with frequencies around 900 million per second and 1.5 billion per second, respectively.) No radio equipment can tune to frequencies greater than about 300 billion per second, but there are a huge number of more frequencies higher than that.

What is a tuning fork used for in a doctors office?

The low-pitched tuning fork (C128) is used to test sensation of vibration. Higher pitched tuning forks are used in neurological examinations.


What is the relationship between the number on the tuning fork and the pitch of the tuning fork?

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.
