Question
Answer in brief.
For a stationary wave set up in a string having both ends fixed, what is the ratio of the fundamental frequency to the second harmonic?
Solution
The fundamental is the first harmonic. As a result, the ratio of the fundamental frequency (n) to the second harmonic (n1) is 1 : 2.
