Resonance Tuning Forks (2D)

Interactive 2D sympathetic resonance simulator: strike tuning fork A and watch whether fork B catches its vibration — depending on how closely their frequencies match. Live beat-frequency and amplitude readouts.

This 2D simulator places two tuning forks side by side and lets you tune each one's frequency independently. Strike fork A and it rings with its own damped oscillation; that vibration weakly drives fork B through the air, and whether B "catches" the vibration depends entirely on how closely the two frequencies match — the classic sympathetic-resonance demonstration. Watch the live beat-frequency readout (the difference between the two frequencies) and fork B's amplitude response climb toward 100% as you dial the sliders together, then collapse the moment they drift apart.
