3D46.00Tuning Forks
3D46.15tuning fork setsS-2gVarious sets of tuning forks.
3D46.16tuning forkPIRA 1000
3D46.16tuning forkDisc 10-03Use a microphone and oscilloscope to display the waveforms of 256, 512, and 1024 Hz tuning forks.
3D46.20tuning forksS-110Strike two tuning forks. Hold one against the table and the other in the air. When the first is no longer audible, hold the second on the table.
3D46.21tuning forksS-55Compare losses of tuning forks of steel and alloy, on and off a resonator box.
3D46.22adjustable tuning forkPIRA 1000
3D46.22adjustable tuning forkDisc 10-04Adjust masses on each tine of a large fork and show the waveform on an oscilloscope. Mistuned forks damp quickly.
3D46.25modulation of sound waves19-9.3Two tuning forks of slightly different frequencies mounted on resonant boxes couple when the amplitude is varied by an oscillating barrier between them.
3D46.30low frequency tuning forkSh-4Tuning fork motion can be studied with a large fork.
3D46.31project a tuning forkS-51Stroboscopically shadow project a vibrating tuning fork on a screen.
3D46.40vowel tuning forksSf-2A set of tuning forks made to give sounds that sound like the vowels.
3D46.45quadrupole nature of a tuning forkSc-3Hold a tuning fork close to the ear and rotate it.
3D46.90frequency standard tuning forksAJP 28(8),ixDriven precision tuning forks of 400 and 100 Hz are used as secondary frequency standards.
