Question

If a string vibrates at the fundamental frequency of 528 Hz and also produces an overtone with a frequency of 1056 Hz this overtone is the what?

Answer 1

"The nth harmonic frequency in a system is represented in form of the fundamental frequency as

fn = n*f ---------> (1)

We take here the above equation as (1) for later implementation

We know the fundamental frequency, f = 528, and the value of fn = 1056

Now we can use the first equation,

fn = 1056

528(n) = 1056

n = 2

so, here the value 1056 corresponds to the second harmonic. In that case, the second harmonic is the right answer."
