The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion (A) The assertion states: "Two arms of a tuning fork vibrate in the same phase." - **Understanding the Assertion**: - A tuning fork consists of two arms (or tines) that vibrate when struck. - "Same phase" means that both arms move in the same direction at the same time. For example, if one arm moves outward, the other arm should also move outward simultaneously. - **Evaluation**: - When a tuning fork is struck, both arms do indeed vibrate together. When one arm moves outward, the other arm also moves outward, and when one moves inward, the other moves inward. - Therefore, the assertion is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason (R) The reason states: "Each arm has a different frequency of vibration." - **Understanding the Reason**: - Frequency of vibration refers to how often the arms complete a cycle of motion in a given time. - If the arms of the tuning fork were to have different frequencies, they would not be able to vibrate in sync with each other. - **Evaluation**: - In reality, both arms of a tuning fork are designed to vibrate at the same natural frequency because they are made of the same material and have the same dimensions. - Therefore, the reason is **false**. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer - The correct option is: **Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.** ---

Two tuning forks vibrate with the same amplitude but the frequency of the first is double the frequency of the second. Which fork produces more intense sound in air ?

A string fixed at both ends, is vibrating in a particular mode of vibration. Vibration is such that a point on string is at maximum displacement and it is at a distance of one fourth of length of string from one end. The frequency of vibration in thus mode is 200 Hz . What will be the frequency of vibration when it vibrates in next mode such that the same point is at maximum displacement?

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

A U-tube having unequal arm-lengths has water in it. A tuning fork of frequency 440 Hz can set up the air in the shorter arm in its fundamental mode of vibration and the same tuning fork can set up the air in the longer arm in its first overtone vibration. Find the length of the air columns Neglect any end effect and assume that the speed of sound in air = 330 ms^-1
