If a string vibrates at the fundamental frequency of 528 Hz and also produces an overtone with a frequency of 1056 Hz this overtone is the?

The fundamental = 1st harmonic is not an overtone!Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic = 528 Hz.2nd harmonic = 1st overtone = 1056 HzLook at the link: "Calculations of Harmonics from FundamentalFrequency".


How are the overtones related to the fundamental frequency of a vibrating string?

The fundamental = 1st harmonic is not an overtone!Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic.2nd harmonic = 1st overtone.3rd harmonic = 2nd overtone.4th harmonic = 3rd overtone.5th harmonic = 4th overtone.6th harmonic = 5th overtone.Look at the link: "Calculations of Harmonics from FundamentalFrequency".


What has a higher frequency than the fundamental frequency?

The fundamental = 1st harmonic is not an overtone!Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic.The following tones have a higher frequency:2nd harmonic = 1st overtone.3rd harmonic = 2nd overtone.4th harmonic = 3rd overtone.5th harmonic = 4th overtone.6th harmonic = 5th overtone.Look at the link: "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency".


What do you call an overtone that is a whole number multiple of the fundamental frequency of a string?

Harmonic is an overtone that's a whole-number multiple of a fundamental frequency. (Penn Foster page 48 of the Sound study guide)

Why the tone of your guitar changes when you switch between the different pickups?

A plucked string has many modes of vibration which all occur simultaneously; most of these correspond to overtones or harmonics of the fundamental frequency of the vibrating string. Near the center of the string, the fundamental frequency has the largest amplitude; a pickup at 1/4 of the length of the string will be at the point of maximum amplitude of the second harmonic and at a null point for the fourth harmonic. This position gives a strong, full, mellow tone. A pickup at 1/8 of the length of the string (closer to the bridge) will be at the point of maximum amplitude of the third harmonic, and will also get a lot of the fourth and fifth harmonics. This gives a much brighter tone. The change in tone caused by plucking the string close to the neck versus close to the bridge is based on the same idea: bringing out the harmonics in the string in different proportions.
