What is the meaning of frequency of a tuning fork?

The frequency of a tuning fork refers to the number of vibrations or oscillations it produces per second, measured in hertz (Hz). It determines the pitch of the sound generated when the fork is struck. A higher frequency results in a higher pitch, while a lower frequency produces a lower pitch. Tuning Forks are often calibrated to specific frequencies, such as 440 Hz, which is commonly used as a standard pitch for musical tuning.
