A tuning fork is a metal instrument shaped like a fork with two prongs. When struck, it vibrates at a specific frequency, producing a clear musical note. Tuning forks are commonly used in music to help musicians tune their instruments, ensuring they play in harmony. In addition to music, tuning forks are also used in various scientific applications, such as in acoustics and medicine. In medicine, they can help assess hearing and bone conduction. The precise frequency of a tuning fork makes it a reliable tool for both musicians and professionals in other fields.
