What do you call an overtone that is a whole number multiple of the fundamental frequency of a string?

Harmonic is an overtone that's a whole-number multiple of a fundamental frequency. (Penn Foster page 48 of the Sound study guide)


What is the tone produced by one vibration of a string?

fundamental frequency


What has a higher frequency than the fundamental frequency?

The fundamental = 1st harmonic is not an overtone!Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic.The following tones have a higher frequency:2nd harmonic = 1st overtone.3rd harmonic = 2nd overtone.4th harmonic = 3rd overtone.5th harmonic = 4th overtone.6th harmonic = 5th overtone.Look at the link: "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency".


The fundamental frequency of a string is 550 hz what is the first harmonic frequency of the string?

The first harmonic, is the fundamental frequency, or 550 Hz. The second harmonic would be twice that, or 1100 Hz. The third would be twice that, or 1650 Hz and so on...


What is the third harmonic for a violin string?

That is three times the fundamental frequency. Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency".

If a string vibrates at the fundamental frequency of 528 Hz and also produces an overtone with a frequency of 1,056 Hz, this overtone is the


Mersenne's Law says the frequency of a vibrating string is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass per unit length but why not simply to the mass per unit length?

Why not? Not to be overly terse . . . because it's NOT inversely proportional to the mass per unit length. It's inversely proportional to the SQUARE ROOT of the MPUL. If the fundamental frequency of a string were inversely proportional to its MPUL, then doubling the MPUL of the string would cut the fundamental frequency in half (that is, reduce it 50 percent). But we know from observation and analysis that that is not the case. If we double the MPUL of the string, then the fundamental frequency is reduced by about 29 percent, not 50 percent. To reduce the fundamental frequency of the string by half, we would have to quadruple the MPUL of the string!

Second Harmonic


What is a fundamental mode of vibration?

The fundamental frequency is the lowest mode of vibration of a system. If you think of a taut string, the lowest mode with which it can vibrate is the one where the centre of the string travels the maximum distance up and down so the string forms a single arc. It is also possible for it to vibrate so that two arcs (one up and one down) fit into the string, and there are many more possibilities with higher frequencies. On a stringed instrument you can hear the fundamental frequency as the normal note which the string plays, and the others as overtones. Other systems exhibit the same phenomenon.


Multiples of the fundamental frequency created by plucking a string very quickly several times in a row is called?

Overtones.

The fundamental = 1st harmonic is not an overtone!Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic = 528 Hz.2nd harmonic = 1st overtone = 1056 HzLook at the link: "Calculations of Harmonics from FundamentalFrequency".
