The pitch of a tuning fork

What is the use of having two prongs of a tuning fork ? If one of the prongs is cut off, would the tuning fork be of any use ?

When a tuning fork vibrates, the waves produced in the fork are

A tuning fork A produces 4 beat/s with another tuning fork B of frequency 320 Hz. On filing one of the prongs of A, 4 beat/s are again heard when sounded with the same fork B. Then, the frequency of the fork A before filing is

When a tuning fork A of frequency 100 Hz is sounded with a tuning fork B , the number of beats per second is 2 . On putting some wax on the prongs of B , the number of beats per second becomes 1 . The frequency of the fork B is

A tuning fork X is initially in unison with another tuning fork Y of frequency 342 Hz. The points of the prongs of fork X are filed so that it now produces 4 beats per second when sounded together with Y. Determine the pitch of X after filing.

Of what material is the tuning fork made and why?

A tuning fork A of frequency 512 Hz produces 4 beats per second when sounded with a tuning frok B. Dut to filling of the prongs of the tuning for B, the number of the beats per second becomes 6. The actual frequenct of B is
