Question

A tuning fork is set into vibrations and then it is held with its stem resting on a table. How will the duration of its vibrations be affected?

Solution

Correct option is

It will vibrate for a shorter duration

A part of the energy of a tuning fork is given to the table. Hence, its amplitude of vibration decrease. It vibrates for a shorter duration.
