Question
Suppose a flutist plays a 523-Hz C note with first harmonic displacement amplitude A1 = 100 nm. From as shown read, by proportion, the displacement amplitudes of harmonics 2 through 7. Take these as the values A2 through A7 in the Fourier analysis of the sound and assume B1 = B2 = ... = B7 = 0. Construct a graph of the waveform of the sound. Your waveform will not look exactly like the flute waveform as shown because you simplify by ignoring cosine terms; nevertheless, it produces the same sensation to human hearing.
