Stationary Waves & Vibrating Strings

The frequency of a tuning fork is 256 Hz. It will not resonate with the tuning fork of frequency

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Resonance (harmonics) occurs only at integer multiples of 256 Hz256\text{ Hz}.
  2. 256×1=256256 \times 1 = 256, 256×2=512256 \times 2 = 512, 256×3=768 Hz256 \times 3 = 768\text{ Hz}.
  3. 754/256754/256 is not an integer.
  4. So the answer is (c) 754 Hz754\text{ Hz}.
