Question

A certain plucked string produces a fundamental frequency of 150 hz. Which frequency is not one of the harmonics produced by that string?

Answer 1

Answer:

Some of the frequency that cannot be produced by the string includes 400Hz, 500Hz 650Hz etc...

Explanation:

Harmonics in strings are defined as the integral multiples of its fundamental frequency. This multiples are in arithmetic progression.

For example if Fo is the fundamental frequency of the string, the harmonics will be 2fo, 3fo, 4fo, 5fo... etc

If the string produces a fundamental frequency of 150Hz, some of the harmonics produced by the string will be 300Hz, 450Hz, 600Hz, 750Hz... etc

Some of the harmonics that cannot be produced include 400Hz, 500Hz 650Hz etc...
