Answer to Problem 8STP
The correct option is (C).
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The natural or fundamental frequencyis defined as the lowest frequency of a periodic waveform. An overtone is characterized as any frequency that is greater than the basic frequency. The first figure here is the basic frequency, the second the first overtone and the third the second overtone.
The first overtone is the second harmonic which is equal to twice the initial frequency. The third harmonic is the second overtone which is equal to three times the fundamental frequency.
Conclusion:
Hence, the bottom guitar string given in the figure is second overtone.
