उत्तर
When the tuning fork is held close to ear, then small amount of air is disturbed and hence sound is faint. When the handle of the vibrating tuning fork is held aganist table, it makes the table top to vibrate, with forced vibrations. As the table top has a larger surface area, therefore large volume of air is set into vibrations, thereby producing a loud sound.
