Explain why does the rear mirror of a motorbike start Vibrating Violently, at some particular speed of motorbike?

उत्तर
When the frequency of the engine of motorbike corresponds with the natural frequency of the rear view mirror, die resonance takes place. Thus, the rearview mirror vibrates with a larger amplitude violently.

The diagram above shows a wire stretched over a sonometer. Stems of two vibrating tuning forks A and Bare touched to the wooden box of the sonometer. It is observed that the paper rider (a small piece of paper folded at the centre) present on the wire flies off when the stem of vibrating tuning fork B is touched to the wooden box but the paper just vibrates when the stem of vibrating tuning fork A is touched to the wooden box.

2) Name the phenomenon when the paper rider flies off.
3) Why does the paper rider fly off when the stem of tuning fork B is touched to the box?
