Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of wave is produced when a tuning fork vibrates in air?
  • Step 1: Understand what a tuning fork is. A tuning fork is a metal instrument that produces sound when it vibrates.
  • Step 2: When the tuning fork is struck, it starts to vibrate.
  • Step 3: These vibrations create pressure changes in the air around the tuning fork.
  • Step 4: The air particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling.
  • Step 5: This type of wave, where particles move parallel to the direction of the wave, is called a longitudinal wave.
