Do tuning forks vibrate?

A tuning fork serves as a useful illustration of how a vibrating object can produce sound. The fork consists of a handle and two tines. When the tuning fork is hit with a rubber hammer, the tines begin to vibrate. The back and forth vibration of the tines produce disturbances of surrounding air molecules.

What is the vibration of tuning fork?

The fork essentially twists back and forth - rather like the torsional twisting modes of a solid bar. The frequencies for these two modes of vibration are 537 Hz and 3102 Hz.

How many times does a tuning fork vibrate per second?

A tuning fork is an all-metal device that has a handle and two prongs, known as tines. When you strike it against a soft surface - like the bottom of a shoe or the palm of your hand - the tines vibrate back and forth several hundred times per second.
