Question

Sohail had two similar tuning forks A and B. He had hit tuning fork A with a force of 10 N and the tuning fork B with a force of 20 N. When the tuning forks are hit, they started producing compressions and rarefactions in the medium. The loudness is high for which tuning fork.

• A. tuning fork A
• B. tuning fork B
• C. both has same
• D. cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B tuning fork B

On hitting the two similar tuning forks ,their natural frequency will not change but there is a change in the amplitude of tuning fork. The more, the force of hitting, the more is the amplitude and more is the loudness. Therefore, tuning fork B is having more loudness than A.
