What is Nth h...

Question

What is Nth harmonic frequency

Open in App

Solution

(Recall that wave speed is equal to wavelength times frequency.) The wavelength of the first harmonic is equal to double the length of the string. The "nth" wavelength is equal to the fundamental wavelength divided by n. * or any wave system with two identical ends, such as a pipe with two open or closed ends
