Tone produced by one vibration of a string?

The tone produced by one vibration of a string is called a fundamental frequency. This fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency at which the string will vibrate, and it determines the pitch of the note that is produced.


What is a series of frequencies that includes the fundamental frequency and integral multiples of the fundamental frequency?

A series of frequencies that includes the fundamental frequency and integral multiples of it is called the harmonic series. These harmonics are produced when a wave is broken down into its constituent frequencies, with the fundamental frequency being the lowest and the higher harmonics being integer multiples of the fundamental frequency.


What is the difference between overtones and partials?

Overtones refer specifically to the higher frequency components of a fundamental frequency, whereas partials encompass all frequencies, including the fundamental frequency. In other words, overtones are a subset of partials.


What is the lowest frequency of a note in the overtone series known as?

Has a higher frequency than the fundamental frequency?

The frequency of a harmonic in a sound wave is always an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency. It cannot be higher than the fundamental frequency.


What is the definition of the term fundamental frequency?

The definition of fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency of a periodic waveform. Sometimes fundamental frequency is abbreviated by FF, containing the lowest frequency starting from 0.


What is the term for overtones that are multiples of the fundamental frequency?

What is the fundamental frequency?

For a waveform containing harmonics, the harmonic frequencies are multiples of what is known as the 'fundamental' frequency. For example, for a waveform that contains 'third harmonics', the fundamental frequency is one-third the frequency of the harmonics.
