Title: Tuning forks are used to diagnose a nervous system disorder that has reduced sensitivity to vibratio Post by: Mohamud Nooh on Apr 18, 2022 Tuning forks are used to diagnose a nervous system disorder that has reduced sensitivity to vibrations as a symptom. The medical tuning fork in (Figure 1) has a frequency of 139 Hz
H z . What is its period of oscillation? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Title: Re: Tuning forks are used to diagnose a nervous system disorder that has reduced sensitivity to ... Post by: bio_man on Apr 18, 2022 Take 1 / 139 = 7.1942 * 10-3.
To three significant figures: 7.19 * 10-3 seconds or 0.00719 seconds Title: Re: Tuning forks are used to diagnose a nervous system disorder that has reduced sensitivity to ... Post by: Mohamud Nooh on Apr 18, 2022 Not three significant figures
Title: Re: Tuning forks are used to diagnose a nervous system disorder that has reduced sensitivity to ... Post by: bio_man on Apr 18, 2022 To find the period of oscillation, you reciprocate the frequency, that is:
1 divided by the frequency Therefore, I took 1 / 139 = 0.00719 seconds -- this is three significant figures |
