All harmonics are overtones but all overtones are not harmonics. How?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The overtones with frequencies that are integral multiples of the fundamental are called harmonics. Hence all harmonics are overtones. But overtones which are non-integral multiples of the fundamental are not harmonics.
