Q: What type of wave is produced when a tuning fork is struck and vibrates?
Solution:
A tuning fork produces longitudinal waves, where the displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a tuning fork is. A tuning fork is a metal instrument that produces sound when struck.
Step 2: When the tuning fork is struck, it vibrates. This means it moves back and forth quickly.
Step 3: Identify the type of wave produced by the vibration. Waves can be longitudinal or transverse.
Step 4: In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium (like air) move in the same direction as the wave is traveling.
Step 5: When the tuning fork vibrates, it pushes air particles together and then pulls them apart, creating areas of compression and rarefaction.
Step 6: Since the air particles move parallel to the direction of the wave, the wave produced by the tuning fork is a longitudinal wave.
