A stretched string has a third harmonic frequency of 600 Hz. What is the frequency of the second harmonic?
I see a huge number of posts by the same poster. No work, no effort shown, just typing. Some apparently call for short papers. If you show some work on these and/or explain, in detail, what you don't understand about each, we may be able to help.
I thought diamond was the lowest index of refraction? Can you explain more?
To find the frequency of the second harmonic, we can use the relationship between harmonics. The frequency of each harmonic is directly related to the fundamental frequency (first harmonic) by the equation:
f_n = nf_1
where f_n is the frequency of the nth harmonic, f_1 is the frequency of the fundamental frequency, and n is the harmonic number.
In this case, we know the frequency of the third harmonic (f_3) is 600 Hz. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
f_3 = 3f_1
Substituting the given frequency value, we have:
600 Hz = 3f_1
To find the frequency of the second harmonic (f_2), we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
600 Hz / 3 = f_1
Therefore, the frequency of the fundamental frequency (first harmonic) is 200 Hz.
Using the relationship between harmonics, we can now find the frequency of the second harmonic:
f_2 = 2f_1
= 2 * 200 Hz
= 400 Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the second harmonic is 400 Hz.
To find the frequency of the second harmonic, we need to understand the relationship between the harmonics of a vibrating string.
The harmonics of a vibrating string can be derived from the fundamental frequency (first harmonic). Each harmonic has a frequency that is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency.
In this case, we are given the frequency of the third harmonic, which is 600 Hz. The third harmonic is three times the frequency of the fundamental frequency.
So, to find the frequency of the second harmonic, we need to divide the frequency of the third harmonic by 3.
Frequency of the second harmonic = Frequency of the third harmonic / 3
Frequency of the second harmonic = 600 Hz / 3
Frequency of the second harmonic = 200 Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the second harmonic is 200 Hz.
