That are harmonics: fundamental + overtones.

What is produced by vibrations that are multiples of the fundamental frequency?

overtones


Produced by vibrations that are multiples of the fundamental frequency?

These are known as harmonics, or overtones.


How are overtones created?

An overtone is a natural resonance or vibration frequency of a system. Systems described by overtones are often sound systems, for example, blown pipes or plucked strings. If such a system is excited, a number of sound frequencies may be produced, including a fundamental tone of given frequency. An integer multiple of the fundamental frequency is called a harmonic. The second overtone is not the second harmonic. (See related link "Calculations of Harmonics and Overtones from Fundamental Frequency")


Why If you very lightly touch a guitar string at its midpoint you can hear an octave one above the fundamental string?

There is a very simple reason for this, This is actually a deliberate technique known as harmonics/ overtones. When a guitar string is plucked, the string vibrates at several frequencies. The vibration along the entire length of the string is known as the fundamental, while vibrations occurring between points along the string (known as nodes) are referred to as overtones. The fundamental and overtones, when sounded together, are perceived by the listener as a single tone, though the relative prominence of the frequencies varies among instruments, and contribute to its timbre. Harmonics are produced on the guitar by lightly touching a string, rather than fretting it, at any of these nodal points. When sounded the string can no longer vibrate at its fundamental tone; instead it is forced to vibrate at the specific overtones that correspond to the nodal point, resulting in a chime-like tone.


A sound that's produced by a single wave at a constant frequency and wiht no overtones is called?

The shape of this sound is a sine wave, and that is what physicists call it. Musicians tend to call it the fundamental.


Which class of amplifier have maximum distortion?

Class C since output cycle is less than 90 degrees for a full input. But it has highest power gain going upto 98%. And the exact term used for distortion is Total Harmonic Distortion since the distortion produced will be in multiples of the fundamental frequencies.


17 A sound that's produced by a single wave at a constant frequency and with no overtones is called?

A sound that's produced by a single wave at a constant frequency and with no overtones is a pure tone or a sinusoidial wave.


Can different sounds be produced by sound waves with the same frequencies?

No. The frequencies determine the sound.


A sound that is produced by a single wave at a constant frequency and with no overtones is called?

It is called a sine wave or sinusoid. A musician might also call it a "pure tone", although few if any acoustic musical instruments produce such tones. There are few purely natural systems that would produce a perfect sine wave. A very well engineered tuning fork comes very close. Most natural objects that produce sound will consist of a fundamental tone and a series of harmonics (overtones) some of which may add color to the tone, and some of which may be inaudible. The fundamental tone and the harmonics are each examples of sinusoids, but may be imperfect given the inherent imperfections of the object that is vibrating.


What is a sound that is produced by a single wave at a constant frequency and with no overtones called?

A sound of a single frequency (fundamental tone) with no overtones is a pure sine wave. It sounds cold and colorless like an audio signal generator or test tone generator
