An electromagnet drives the fork to a sustained frequency of 80Hz
The tuning fork assembly and binding posts are mounted on a stable cast‐metal base
To show relationships between frequency, length, tension and mass or learn about Melde’;s standing wave experiments with this heavy duty electric tuning fork
An electromagnet drives the fork to a sustained frequency of approx
80Hz
One prong of the tuning fork has a captive knurled thumbscrew for performing Melde’;s experiment
Amplitude of the tuning fork vibrations is varied by means of a threaded adjustment screw
Universal binding posts are finished to provide electrical power from an external source of 2 to 6 volts DC
