To determine the frequency of an electricaly maintained tuning fork, by Melde's method
The Electrically Maintained Tuning Fork Apparatus for Determining Frequency by Melde’s Method is a physics laboratory instrument used to determine the frequency of an electrically maintained tuning fork by studying the formation of stationary waves in a stretched string.
The apparatus works on the principle of resonance and the laws of vibrating strings. An electrically maintained tuning fork produces sustained vibrations with the help of an electrical driving arrangement. These vibrations are transmitted to a string under tension, causing it to vibrate and form stationary waves with distinct nodes and loops. By measuring the vibrating length, applying a known tension, and determining the linear mass density of the string, students can calculate the frequency of vibration.
This experiment provides a practical demonstration of wave motion, resonance, string vibration, and the relationship between frequency, tension, and vibrating length. It is suitable for physics laboratories in schools, colleges, universities, and technical institutions.
Aim : Study or demonstrate the principle described by the experiment or apparatus name: To determine the frequency of an electricaly maintained tuning fork, by Melde's method.
