ICSE Class 10 Answered

plz explain second harmonic and third harmonic in simple language

Asked by lovemaan5500 | 01 Dec, 2017, 06:54: AM

Expert Answer

A first harmonic is the fundamental frequency of the vibrating body or string in the case presented here.

For a string, it would half of one wavelength. That is there is one loop formed in first harmonic.

Here you see two loops in second harmonic and similar three loops in third harmonic.

So harmonic depend on the length of wavelength.

why is the amplitude of forced vibration very small when the frequency of the external force is different from the natural frequency of the body?
