Description
A tuning fork demonstration involves striking a tuning fork to produce a pure musical tone and then using various methods to visualize and analyze the sound waves. By holding a vibrating tuning fork near a resonant cavity or a microphone connected to an oscilloscope, one can observe the waveforms and harmonic content of the sound. This setup can also show the effect of different environments and objects on the propagation and amplification of sound waves, providing a clear example of resonance and wave behavior.
