Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the condition under which the stem of a vibrating tuning fork pressed against a table top leads to resonance, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Resonance Resonance occurs when an object is forced to vibrate at its natural frequency. This results in a significant increase in amplitude of the vibrations. ### Step 2: Identify the Components In this scenario, we have two main components: - The vibrating tuning fork, which produces sound waves at a specific frequency. ...

The diagram above shows a wire stretched over a sonometer. Stems of two vibrating tuning forks A and B are touched 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. Why does the paper rider fly off when the stem of tuning fork B is touched to the box ?

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.
