Answer :
The second harmonic of a violin string with a fundamental frequency of 440 hertz is 880 hertz.
The second harmonic of a violin string with a fundamental frequency of 440 hertz. In the context of string instruments, the term 'harmonic' refers to the frequencies at which the string naturally vibrates. These are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency.
The fundamental frequency (first harmonic) is given as 440 hertz. The second harmonic is twice the fundamental frequency. Therefore, the frequency of the second harmonic is:
2 x 440 hertz = 880 hertz
So, the correct answer is 880 hertz.
