Experiment description
This experiment demonstrates resonance using two tuning forks. When two tuning forks of the same frequency are used, vibrations from one fork make the other vibrate strongly, even moving a nearby hanging ball. If the tuning forks have different frequencies, resonance does not occur and no significant vibration or ball movement is observed.
