AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to identify the phenomenon responsible for the loud sound produced when the stem of a vibrating tuning fork is pressed against a table. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Tuning Fork**: A tuning fork is an instrument that vibrates when struck, producing sound waves. The vibrations create sound waves in the air. 2. **Contact with the Table**: When the stem of the tuning fork is pressed against a solid surface like a table, the vibrations from the tuning fork are transmitted to the table. ...

When the stem of a vibrating tuning fork is gently pressed on the surface of a table louder sound is heard. Why?

The diagram below shows a wire stretched over a sonometer. Stems of two vibrating tuning forks A and B are touched in turn to the wooden box of the sonometer. It is observed that the paper rider (a small piece of paper folded at the centre) present on the wire flies off when the stem of vibrating tuning fork B is touched to the wooden box but the paper just vibrates when the stem of vibrating tuning fork A is touched to the wooden box. Name the phenomenon when the paper rider just vibrates.
