Question

What is the frequency of a tuning fork that vibrates 518 times in 3.50 s?

Answer 1

Given:

The number of vibrations of the tuning fork is,

$51\text{8 times}$

in,

$t=3.50\text{ s}$

To find:

The frequency of the fork

Explanation:

The frequency is the number of vibrations in 1 second

The frequency for the given fork is,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{The\text{ total vibrations}}{The\text{ time}} \\ =\frac{518}{3.50} \\ =148\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the frequency is 148 Hz.
