Please give the following and encode the answers. This is not a writing assignment
Using special techniques called string harmonics, stringed instruments can produce the first few overtones of the harmonic series. While a violinist is playing some of these harmonies for us, we take a picture of the vibrating string. Using an oscilloscope, we find the violinist plays a note with frequency f=795 Hz in figure (a).
a) In terms of the fundamental frequency f1, what us the frequency of the note the violinist is playing in figure (c)? Answer in the form "fc="
b) Write a general expression for the frequency of any note the violinist can play in this manner, in terms of the fundamental frequency f1 and the number of antinodes on the standing wave A. Answer in the form "fA="
