Question

Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental. If the fundamental frequency is 53 Hz, with what frequency will the 8th harmonic resonate?

Answer 1

Take into account that the relation in betwee the fundamental and the harmonics is given by:

f = fo·n

where f is the frecuency of the nth harmonic and fo is the fundamental.

Then, for the 8th harmonic (n = 8) and a fundamental of 53 Hz, you obtain for f:

f = (53 Hz)(8)

f = 424 Hz

Hence, the frequency of the 8th harmonic is 424 Hz
