The natural frequency of the tuning fork
What is the key factor that determines the natural frequency of a pendulum bob's vibrations?
Acceleration due to gravity
How does the amplitude of vibration change over time in a body's natural vibrations?
It decreases due to resistance
What type of waves are produced when a tuning fork is struck against a rubber pad?
Longitudinal waves
In what medium do the natural vibrations of a body occur without any resistance?
Vacuum
What happens to the amplitude of vibration over time in a body's natural vibrations?
It decreases due to resistance in the medium
What determines the pure single frequency note produced by a tuning fork?
Frequency of vibration of the tuning fork
Test your knowledge on the natural vibrations of a body when there is no external force acting on it. Understand how the frequency of these vibrations is influenced by the shape and size of the body. Explore the conditions under which these vibrations occur.
