A steel wire fixed at both ends has a fundamental frequency of 200 Hz. A person can hear sound of maximum frequency 14 kHz. What is the highest harmonic that can be played on this string which is audible to the person ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
70
For n(th) harmonic audible by person we use
1400 = x(200)
n = 70
