Tuning Fork Set
Product Code : JL-LEP-10431
The Tuning Fork Set (SKU JL-LEP-10431) is a set of eight non-magnetic aluminium alloy tuning forks producing the first octave of the diatonic scale, from C 256 Hz to C 512 Hz, each within 1% of its stamped frequency. This tuning fork set comes in a moulded tray with a rubber mallet, and every fork is stamped with its frequency and note. It is used in sound, resonance and music-linked physics lessons, and JaincoLab manufactures it in India.
Specifications
The set contains eight aluminium alloy forks, C 256, D 288, E 320, F 341, G 384, A 426, B 480 and C 512 Hz, each stamped with its frequency and letter, with a handle of about 4.5 cm, output within 1% of the stamped frequency and pure sine-wave tone, supplied in a moulded tray with a rubber mallet.

Applications of the tuning fork set
The forks provide known, pure frequencies for sound experiments, from showing that a sounding object vibrates to measuring the speed of sound with a resonance tube and comparing notes of the musical scale.
- Showing that sound is produced by vibration
- Finding resonance lengths in a resonance tube at several known frequencies
- Calculating the speed of sound from frequency and wavelength
- Comparing pitch across the notes of one octave
- Sound, resonance and music-linked lessons in secondary and college physics
