15장, 문제 85a

Two strings on a musical instrument are tuned to play at 392 Hz (G) and 494 Hz (B). What are the frequencies of the first two overtones for each string?

검증된 단계별 안내

Understand the concept of overtones: Overtones are the higher frequencies at which a string vibrates, in addition to its fundamental frequency. The first overtone is the second harmonic (2 times the fundamental frequency), and the second overtone is the third harmonic (3 times the fundamental frequency).

Identify the given fundamental frequencies: The first string has a fundamental frequency of 392 Hz, and the second string has a fundamental frequency of 494 Hz.

Calculate the first overtone (second harmonic) for each string: Use the formula \( f_{n} = n \cdot f_{1} \), where \( f_{1} \) is the fundamental frequency and \( n \) is the harmonic number. For the first overtone, \( n = 2 \). For the first string, \( f_{2} = 2 \cdot 392 \). For the second string, \( f_{2} = 2 \cdot 494 \).

Calculate the second overtone (third harmonic) for each string: Again, use the formula \( f_{n} = n \cdot f_{1} \). For the second overtone, \( n = 3 \). For the first string, \( f_{3} = 3 \cdot 392 \). For the second string, \( f_{3} = 3 \cdot 494 \).

Summarize the results: The first overtone for each string corresponds to the second harmonic, and the second overtone corresponds to the third harmonic. These frequencies are calculated by multiplying the fundamental frequency by 2 and 3, respectively.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Fundamental Frequency

The fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency at which a system oscillates, and it determines the pitch of the sound produced. In musical instruments, this frequency corresponds to the note being played. For the strings tuned to 392 Hz (G) and 494 Hz (B), these values represent their fundamental frequencies.

Overtones

Overtones are higher frequencies that occur at integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. The first overtone is typically the second harmonic, which is twice the fundamental frequency, while the second overtone is the third harmonic, three times the fundamental frequency. These overtones contribute to the timbre and richness of the sound produced by the strings.

Harmonic Series

The harmonic series is a sequence of frequencies that are integer multiples of a fundamental frequency. For a string fixed at both ends, the harmonics are produced by standing waves, where the first harmonic is the fundamental frequency, the second harmonic is the first overtone, and so on. Understanding this series is essential for calculating the frequencies of overtones for the given strings.

Dimensional analysis. Waves on the surface of the ocean do not depend significantly on the properties of water such as density or surface tension. The primary 'return force' for water piled up in the wave crests is due to the gravitational attraction of the Earth. Thus the speed v (m/s) of ocean waves depends on the acceleration due to gravity g. It is reasonable to expect that υ might also depend on water depth h and the wave's wavelength λ. Assume the wave speed is given by the functional form v = Cgᵅ hᵝ λᵞ, where α , β , c and C are numbers without dimension. In deep water, the water deep below the surface does not affect the motion of waves at the surface. Thus υ should be independent of depth h (i.e., β = 0). Using only dimensional analysis (Section 1–7 and Appendix D), determine the formula for the speed of surface ocean waves in deep water.
