Question
If the fundamental frequency of a vibrating stretched string is $200 \mathrm{~Hz}$, what are its 1 st and $2 \mathrm{nd}$ overtones?
Step 1
The fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency at which a system vibrates. Overtones are higher frequencies at which the system can also vibrate. The first overtone is the second harmonic, and the second overtone is the third harmonic. Show more…
