Well, I could say that the length of the string, and how tight it is would affect the position of the harmonics. I can't provide an answer related to physics. There is a little problem in counting the harmonics and the overtones. So you find different statements in the internet. Some are wrong and some are right. Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency".

What is idmt over current relay with different plug setting multiplier?

Any nonlinear load on a system generates harmonics. Exampes are the magnetic core of a transformer or equipment which uses rectifiers to produce direct current. The triplen harmonics are unpopular because they add on a three-phase system, so they produce current in the neutral, which a three-phase system in balance does not.

Does tightening the drum make the sound higher or lower?

I like that expression-Tight as a drum!. actually it is the heads that are tightened and this does alter the pitch. Ludwig drums were/are available with three harmonics, that are controllable by expanding and contracting the tension on the drum heads- this was called machine drums. The harmonics are Tonic, Dominant, and sub-dominant. I understood Mr. Spector had use of this for his wall of sound with three drums tuned to the three harmonics- and also three singers belting things out! Ronnie, Nedra, and Estelle! those were the days- of the Ronettes.


Why do the same notes on different instruments not sound the same?

Notes and frequenciesThe way your question is phrased indicates some confusion on your part. First, you must understand that the fundamental frequency of a particular note is fixed, regardless what instrument produces the tone. Whether it's the human voice, a violin, piano, water-filled glass, or even a bent saw, the fundamental frequency determines the name of the note. For example, the note A4 is heard when a vibration with a fundamental frequency of 440 Hertz (Hz) is produced. The note C4, or "middle C," is produced by any instrument that produces vibrations of 261.63 Hz.What makes a violin sound different from, say, a flute or a carpenter's saw are the harmonics produced by the instrument. Harmonics are the subtle frequencies produced by the instrument that are multiples above the fundamental frequency. Different instruments create different harmonics that contribute to their unique timbre, which allows you to distinguish the instruments apart.Second, it is important to understand that not all instruments use the same notation to represent the tones. (This may be at the heart of why you phrased the question as you did.) Some instruments, such as the piano and guitar, are "C" instrument, others are "Bb" instruments, while still others are "Eb" instruments. If three musicians using instruments with the different tunings all look at and play the same note on a staff, the tones created will sound different, because the musicians won't be playing tones of the same frequency. Composers have to adjust their notation to compensate for the different tunings of the instruments they employ.Check out the link at the lower left to the frequency of notes page.You should also note that the difference of a concert C on a trumpet and a concert C is called timber. It still has the same frequency though.

Harmonics in three phase why not in single phase?

Harmonics are the result of the current waveform being distorted by a non-linear load, such as a computer power supply or a motor control drive (VFD). In a commercial setting (which is usually 3-phase), harmonics cause unwanted current to flow which does no useful work, yet must be accounted for when sizing conductors, transformers, etc. Harmonics are certainly not limited to 3-phase systems, however. Any non-linear load, even single-phase, causes harmonics. Your computer, television, and microwave oven probably create harmonics. In a residential setting though, there are not enough cumulative harmonic currents to worry about. Unless you have 50 computers at your house...
