A stretched string has a third harmonic frequency of 600 Hz. What is the frequency of the second harmonic?

1 answer

The wavelength of the third harmonic will be 2/3 of the wavelength of the second harmonic.

Since frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength for standing waves, the frequency is higher by a factor 3/2.
