If the fundamental frequency of a violin string is 440 Hz, what is the frequency of the second harmonic?

Answer :

Answer:

880Hz

Explanation:

A violin string is an example of an open pipe. An open pipe is open at both ends.

The fundamental frequency is the first harmonic.In an open pipe the second harmonic is twice the fundamental frequency.

Hence, second harmonic = 2Fo

Fo=440Hz

Second harmonic = 2*440Hz

Second harmonic = 880Hz
