If you strike a tuning fork and then touch water in a bowl, the water splashes.

If you strike a tuning fork hard, you get a louder sound.

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.

16 tuning forks are arranged in the order of decreasing frequency. Any two successive forks gives 5 beats per second when sounded together. If the first tuning fork gives the octave of the last, then determine the frequency of the last fork.

Why is a coin placed in a bowl of water appears raised?

When a tuning fork vibrates will there be any overtones present ?

A string under a tension of 129.6 N produces 10 beats per sec when it is vibrated along with a tuning fork. When the tension in the string is increased to 160 N, it sounds in unison with the same tuning fork, Calculate the fundamental frequency of the tuning fork.

A stationary wave is set up in a resonance air column of a glass tube partially filled with water by holding a tuning fork near the open end, the open end of the tube is :
