Tuning Fork
Product Code : JA-SW-1312
The Tuning Fork (SKU JA-SW-1312) sounds a fixed reference frequency when struck and is listed in six frequencies from C 256 Hz to C 512 Hz. This tuning fork for physics lab use serves sound, resonance and vibrating-string practicals in secondary school and undergraduate physics laboratories. It is made for educational use and is not intended for tuning musical instruments.
Specifications
The tuning fork is listed in six frequencies, C 256, D 288, E 320, A 426.6, B 480 and C 512 Hz, so a laboratory can order a single note or a spread of notes for its experiments; it is made for educational purposes only and not for tuning instruments.

Applications of the tuning fork in physics practicals
In school and college physics labs the tuning fork provides a known frequency for experiments on sound, such as measuring the speed of sound with a resonance tube, relating frequency to wire length on a sonometer and showing that sound is produced by vibrating bodies.
- Speed of sound in air from two resonance positions of a resonance tube
- Relation between frequency and resonating length of a sonometer wire
- Comparing pitch and frequency using forks of different notes
- Demonstrating that a sounding body vibrates
