Question

What is the difference between odd and even harmonics?

Answer 1

Harmonics: It is a wave whose frequency is an integral multiple of the frequency of the same wave. There is two types of harmonics- odd and even harmonics.

Fundamental Frequency: The lowest resonant frequency of a vibrating object is called its fundamental frequency.

Difference between odd and even harmonics:

Odd harmonics	Even harmonics
1. Odd harmonics are those harmonics where the numbers of frequencies are odd.	1. Whereas even harmonics are those where the numbers of frequencies are even.
2. For example: $150Hz,250Hz,350Hz$ etc. in the fundamental frequency of $50Hz$.	2. For example: $100Hz,200Hz,300Hz$ etc. in the fundamental frequency of $100Hz$.
