Best Answer

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.

The some wave has the same frequency as the natural frequency of the tuning fork, the tuning fork is made to vibrate due to a process called resonance.

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.


What is a tuning fork and how is it used?

When a tuning fork and a note are sounded together why do you loosen the string?

The purpose of a tuning fork is to know the exact pitch of a certain note, and then tune to that note. The string is probably loosened to match the pitch of the tuning fork.


Where can you get a tuning fork?

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


How waves are created and propagate when a tuning fork is struck?

Because of the tuning fork's vibrations. It creates compressional sound waves.
