Question

what happens when a vibrating tuning fork is dipped in water ​

Answer 1

By sticking the vibrating tuning fork in a denser medium like water, the tuning fork's energy is transferred into the act of splashing water, rather than hearing sound. Waves are energy carriers. Water is a better medium to visualize sound waves and detect the rapid motion of a vibrating tuning fork.

OR

The vibration is rapidly slowed to a halt after being briefly transmitted through the new medium

OR
When the tuning fork is struck, it vibrates rapidly. We cannot see the air molecules bouncing off of the fork because they are invisible to our eyes but we can see sound in something thicker like water. The splash pattern in water is similar to what happens in the air with sound bouncing off in all directions.
