2. Tuning fork - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuning_fork

   Tuning fork pitch varies slightly with temperature, due mainly to a slight decrease in the modulus of elasticity of steel with increasing temperature. A change in frequency of 48 parts per million per °F (86 ppm per °C) is typical for a steel tuning fork. The frequency decreases (becomes flat) with increasing temperature. [6]

   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.

4. Sympathetic resonance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_resonance

   In similar fashion, strings will respond to the vibrations of a tuning fork when sufficient harmonic relations exist between them. The effect is most noticeable when the two bodies are tuned in unison or an octave apart (corresponding to the first and second harmonics , integer multiples of the inducing frequency), as there is the greatest ...

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. Pallesthesia - Wikipedia

   The typical frequency used for the tuning fork is 128 Hz. [1] Some common areas for testing in the bones are the metatarsals , the tibia , the malleoli , the anterior superior iliac crest , vertebrae in the spinal cord, sternum , clavicle , and the styloid processes of the radius and ulna .

7. Scientific pitch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_pitch

   Scientific pitch, also known as philosophical pitch, Sauveur pitch or Verdi tuning, is an absolute concert pitch standard which is based on middle C (C 4) being set to 256 Hz rather than approximately 261.63 Hz, [1] making it approximately 31.77 cents lower than the common A440 pitch standard.
