A steel wire fixed at both ends has a fundamental frequency of . A person can hear sound of maximum frequency . What is the highest harmonic that can be played on this string which is audible to the person?
Step 1: Given data.
Fundamental frequency,
Highest harmonic frequency,
Step 2: Finding the highest harmonic audible to the person.
We know that,
highest harmonic frequency,
Hence, the highest harmonic audible to the person is harmonic.
