The tuning fork transmits its vibrations to the body of the guitar which starts to vibrate as well (resonance), the sound is being emitted or radiated from a bigger surface which is why it is heard better.

The students should first be shown the film without any explanation. They can then say what they think.
Afterwards they can work on the solution.
