Question

A clarinet sounds as a closed pipe. if a clarinet sounds a note with a pitch of 375 hz, what are the frequencies of the lowest three harmonics produced by this instrument?

Answer 1

So mathematical harmonics are based around a divergent set of fractions. Sigma(1/n)
with the 1st harmonic being... well 1, or 1 full wavelength.The second harmonic is exactly 1/2 the wavelength of the 1st with the third being 1/3 the wavelength. As Wavelengths go down, frequencies go up in a perfect ratio.

Second Harmonic has double the Frequency of the 1st or base note. Third Harmonic is triple and so on.

So the Harmonic set of 375 is.
1. 375
2. 375×2=750
3. 375×3= 1125
