To find the highest harmonic that can be played on a steel wire fixed at both ends, which is audible to a person, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Fundamental frequency of the wire, \( f_0 = 200 \, \text{Hz} \) - Maximum frequency audible to the person, \( f = 14 \, \text{kHz} = 14,000 \, \text{Hz} \) ### Step 2: Understand the relationship between harmonics and frequency The frequency of the \( n \)-th harmonic of a string fixed at both ends is given by: ...
