2. Savart wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savart_wheel

   A Savart wheel (exhibited at the Birla Industrial & Technological Museum, Kolkata, India, in 2000). The Savart wheel is an acoustical device named after the French physicist Félix Savart (1791–1841), which was originally conceived and developed by the English scientist Robert Hooke (1635–1703).

3. Melde's experiment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melde's_experiment

   A model of Melde's experiment: an electric vibrator connected to a cable drives a pulley that suspends a mass that causes tension in the cable. Melde's experiment is a scientific experiment carried out in 1859 by the German physicist Franz Melde on the standing waves produced in a tense cable originally set oscillating by a tuning fork , later ...

4. Tuning fork - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuning_fork

   A tuning fork is an acoustic resonator in the form of a two-pronged fork with the prongs formed from a U-shaped bar of elastic metal (usually steel). It resonates at a specific constant pitch when set vibrating by striking it against a surface or with an object, and emits a pure musical tone once the high overtones fade out.

5. Acoustic resonance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance

   Experiment using two tuning forks oscillating at the same frequency.One of the forks is being hit with a rubberized mallet. Although the first tuning fork hasn't been hit, the other fork is visibly excited due to the oscillation caused by the periodic change in the pressure and density of the air by hitting the other fork, creating an acoustic resonance between the forks.

6. Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville - Wikipedia

   Additional recordings include tuning fork, Au Clair de la lune, opening lines of Torquato Tasso's pastoral drama Aminta, Vocal scale and Fly, little bee. [8] A phonautogram by Scott containing the opening lines of Torquato Tasso's pastoral drama Aminta, which is the earliest audible record of spoken Italian, has also been found.

7. Crystal radio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_radio

   The tuned circuit, consisting of a coil and a capacitor connected together, acts as a resonator, similar to a tuning fork. [66] Electric charge, induced in the antenna by the radio waves, flows rapidly back and forth between the plates of the capacitor through the coil.

8. Foucault's measurements of the speed of light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault's_measurements_of...

   He used carefully calibrated tuning forks to monitor the rotation rate of the air-turbine-powered mirror R, and he would typically measure displacements of the slit image on the order of 115 mm. [7] His 1879 figure for the speed of light, 299944±51 km/s, was within about 0.05% of the modern value. His 1926 repeat of the experiment incorporated ...

9. John Shore (trumpeter) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Shore_(trumpeter)

   Over time, tuning forks were adapted for use in medical and therapeutic settings, where their precise frequencies have been harnessed for healing and therapeutic purposes. [ 3 ] Tuning forks are known for their nearly pure frequency response, emitting a clear, unwavering tone that is free from the complex overtones found in other instruments.
