2. the nature of a vibrating body
3. the gravitational force of attraction
4. None
Option 1 – the resistance offered by the air around it
When the stem of a vibrating tuning fork is pressed against the top of a table, the sound becomes louder because

The vibrations produced in a body under the influence (action) of an external periodic force are called
1. Natural vibrations
2. Forced vibrations
3. Free vibrations
4. Resonance

2. the natural frequency of the body is not equal to the frequency of the external periodic force
3. both of these
4. None of these
Option 1 – the natural frequency of the body is equal to the natural frequency of the external periodic force
