Tuning Fork Set
Product Code : SCL-PL-12133
Tuning Fork Set (SKU SCL-PL-12133) contains five forks: two at 256 Hz and one each at 320, 426.7 and 480 Hz, matching the notes C, E, A and B. Placed face to face, the two 256 Hz forks show sympathetic resonance, and one of them is adjustable. The set suits school and college sound practicals. Science Lab Supplies produces it at its own manufacturing facility in Saha, Ambala, India, supplying institutions, dealers and tender contractors directly.
Specifications
The forks come mounted on a wooden resonance box and are supplied with a striker. Of the two 256 Hz forks, one is fixed and the other adjustable, so a teacher can show resonance at a matched frequency and then set one fork apart. The other three forks give the notes E, A and B.

Applications and Experiments for the Tuning Fork Set
The set is built to show how sound energy passes through air from one vibrating fork to another of the same frequency. Its extra frequencies extend it to pitch and resonance-tube work, supporting Class 9 sound, Class 11 waves and B.Sc. sound practicals.
- Class 9 science: sound needs a medium and is transferred through air.
- Class 11 physics: natural frequency and sympathetic resonance with the matched 256 Hz pair.
- Comparing the matched pair with the adjustable fork set away from 256 Hz.
- Resonance tube and sonometer experiments at four different frequencies.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set comprises two 256 Hz tuning forks (one fixed and one adjustable), one fork each of 320, 426.7 and 480 Hz, mounting on a wooden resonance box, and a striker. Resonance tubes or sonometers for further experiments are separate items.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which frequencies are included in the Tuning Fork Set?
Two forks at 256 Hz (C) and one each at 320 Hz (E), 426.7 Hz (A) and 480 Hz (B), five forks in all, mounted on a wooden resonance box.
Why are there two 256 Hz forks?
The matched pair shows sympathetic resonance: face to face, one sounding fork sets the other vibrating. One of the pair is adjustable, so the two can also be compared when set apart.
Which experiments use the other three forks?
The 320, 426.7 and 480 Hz forks give extra known frequencies for resonance-tube and sonometer work, so results can be compared at more than one pitch.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures the set at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala. Because this science apparatus manufacturer in India is the maker, your quotation comes straight from its own works.
