Sound from a tuning fork

The sound from a tuning fork is not a transverse wave but a longitudinal wave

What is a tuning fork?

  • A tuning fork is a two-pronged steel device used by musicians, which vibrates when struck to give a note of specific pitch.

  • However, tuning forks are used in air, meaning they generate longitudinal sound waves. Well, as Kyle said: the sound produced by a tuning fork (or any other source) is a longitudinal wave. But, the tuning fork itself does both, transversal and longitudinal.

A common example of longitudinal waves is sound waves, which are pressure waves or vibrations that travel through air or other materials, like water. Tuning forks produce a single note, or a specific sound, when struck by making the arms move in and out very rapidly (hundreds or thousands of times a second).
