Question

What are the different types of harmonics?

Answer 1

Harmonics

A wave, as well as a signal whose frequency seems to be whole numbers or figures integral multiple of the frequencies of such identical reference signal as well as the wave, are called harmonics.

Harmonic frequencies are multiples of the fundamental frequency.

1. If somehow the fundamental frequency is $100\mathrm{hertz}$, then the greater harmonics are $200\mathrm{hertz},300\mathrm{hertz},400\mathrm{hertz},500\mathrm{hertz},$ and so on.
2. If the fundamental frequency is $220\mathrm{hertz}$, the harmonics are $440\mathrm{hertz},660\mathrm{hertz},880\mathrm{hertz},$ and so on.

Types of harmonics

There are two types of harmonics as follows:

1. Odd harmonics: Odd numbers such as $3,5,7,$ etc, are the odd harmonics.
2. Even harmonics: Even numbers such as $2,4,6,$ etc, are the even harmonics.
