Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic.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".
It isn't. 438 is divisible by 6 because 438 is a multiple of 6.
The number of numbers in the string; how long it is.
Frequency is equal to inverse of the square root of density. As the frequency of a string for example goes up the density will go down but in a non-linear fashion. That is to create higher and higher frequencies less and less density decreases are required.
All of the factors are prime.
Harmonic is an overtone that's a whole-number multiple of a fundamental frequency. (Penn Foster page 48 of the Sound study guide)
The tone produced by one vibration of a string is called a fundamental frequency. This fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency at which the string will vibrate, and it determines the pitch of the note that is produced.
A harmonic note is a musical tone that is produced by a vibrating object, such as a string or column of air, vibrating at a frequency that is a whole number multiple of the fundamental frequency of the object. Harmonic notes are higher pitched tones that blend with the fundamental frequency to create complex timbres in music.
fundamental frequency
The harmonics of a sound or vibration have higher frequencies than the fundamental frequency. Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental frequency that combine to create the overall sound or waveform.
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...
That is three times the fundamental frequency. Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency".
Overtones are multiples of the fundamental frequency of a vibrating string. They have higher frequencies and correspond to different modes of vibration for the same string length. The fundamental frequency is the lowest resonant frequency of the string, and the overtones add complexity to the sound produced.
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
The lowest frequency possible in a vibrating string undergoing resonance is called the fundamental frequency. It occurs when the string vibrates in a single segment, producing the longest wavelength and lowest pitch.
first harmonic
Mersenne's Law factors in both the tension in the string and the mass per unit length of the string, hence the inclusion of the square root in the formula. The tension in the string affects the frequency of vibration, which is not accounted for in the mass per unit length alone.
