Harmonics Physics Sound Harmonics Questions Question #4d966 Question #f8fc7 Question #5f9cd Question #afa86 What is the underlying reason why harmonics sound good? How are harmonics related to fundamental frequency? How are harmonics generated in a transformer? Question #ec6e6 One of the strings of a guitar has a fundamental frequency of 440 Hz and another has a fundamental frequency of 660 Hz. Which of the following set of frequencies could be produced on both of these strings? Question #1ef6f What is meant by 'harmonics' in a musical note, and how are harmonics explained in physics? How is this relevant to how the same note played on different musical instruments sound different? Question #78c17 Is it possible to have a non-whole number harmonic in sound? Question #f7412 Question #fb7d5 Question #2148b To have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. overtones in a closed or open-air column, do you need to have a longer tube length (than the one that produced the fundamental)? Two identical tuning forks are placed side by side. Why does the vibration of the first tuning fork cause the vibration of the second? Why do larger instruments create lower frequencies than smaller instruments? Sound View all chapters Sound waves Sound Intensity Harmonics Physics of Music Doppler Effect and Shock Wave Prev Next
