Name: Tuning Fork in Strobe Light Category: Waves and Oscillations Subcategory: Instruments Classes:

Comments: Strike tuning fork in a room in which a strobe light is flashing. Adjust the frequency of the strobe light to "slow down" the apparent oscillation of the tuning fork. This also works well with a tuning fork in front of a computer monitor, due to the monitor's refresh rate.
