Calculate what would be the next harmonic above the fundamental frequency if this string had one end free.
Added by Geoffrey C.
Step 1
For a string fixed at one end and free at the other, the fundamental frequency (first harmonic) is determined by the length of the string and the speed of the wave on the string. Show more…

What is the frequency of the next higher harmonic above the fundamental?
How much higher is the frequency of the fifth harmonic on a rope than the fundamental frequency?
In the Group Work, once we have calculated (and experimentally determined) our fundamental frequency for our string, how do we find the higher resonant frequencies, or harmonics? We merely raise the fundamental frequency by the power of the harmonic number: The second harmonic equals the fundamental squared, and so on. We merely divide the fundamental frequency by the harmonic number: The second harmonic equals 1/2 times the fundamental, and so on. We merely multiply the fundamental frequency by the harmonic number: The second harmonic equals 2 times the fundamental, and so on. We merely multiply the fundamental frequency by the log of the harmonic number: The second harmonic equals the fundamental times log 2, and so on.
