Vibrates

Examples

• If the string vibrates as a whole merely, the tone given out is simple, and seems dull and characterless. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• If, on the other hand, it vibrates in such a way that overtones are present, the tone given forth is full and rich and the sensation is pleasing. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• If a light cork ball on the end of a thread is brought in contact with a sounding fork, the ball does not remain at rest, but vibrates back and forth, being driven by the moving prongs. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Size and shape determine to a large degree the period of a body; for example, a short, thick tuning fork vibrates more rapidly than a tall slender fork. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• When a string vibrates as a whole, it gives out the fundamental note. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• The end of the pole piece _c_ extends to within 1/100 to 2/100 of an inch of the diaphragm, or as near as possible so that the diaphragm does not touch it when it vibrates. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• When a string is plucked in the middle without being held, it vibrates simply as a whole (Fig. 184), and gives forth but one note; this is called the fundamental. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• When the first fork vibrates, the second responds. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• It is well known that the diaphragm of a telephone vibrates with the fluctuations of the current energizing the magnet beneath it. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• An object when disturbed vibrates in a manner peculiar to itself, the vibration being slow, as in the case of the long-roped swing, or quick, as in the case of the short-roped swing. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• The string vibrates in three portions. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• In this manner the power imparted to the coil, as the pendulum vibrates to and fro, produces a continuous repetition of the attraction on each side alternately, and maintains a constant action. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
