Does the frequency of a vibrating tuning fork change on increasing the temperature?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As the temperature increases, the length of the prong of the tunning fork increases. This increases the wavelength of the stationary waves set up in the tunning fork. As frequency, `v alpha sqrt1/(lambda)`, so frequency of tunning fork decreases.
