When a tuning fork was struck and brought near a bucket of water, a wave as shown in figure was formed on its surface. If the fork is struck much harder and brought near the surface, what will increase ?

A

Frequency

B

Wavelength

C

Velocity

D

Amplitude

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When the fork was struck harder, higher amount of energy is transferred and fork will vibrate with greater amplitude.
