A pure tone created by a vibrating tuning fork shows up as a sine wave on an oscilloscope’s screen. A tuning fork vibrating at 256 hertz (Hz) gives the tone middle C and can have the equation

where the amplitude is in centimeters (cm) and the time t in seconds. What are the amplitude and frequency of the wave where the frequency is 1/p in cycles per second? Note: 1 hertz = 1 cycle per second.

A pure tone created by a vibrating tuning fork shows up as a sine wave on an oscilloscopes screen. A tuning fork vibrating at 256 hertz (Hz) gives the tone middle C and can have the equation y= 0.005 sin[(2m)(2561)].
