A harmonic is any member of the harmonic series, an ideal set of frequencies that are positive integer multiples of a common fundamental frequency.
As bore width increases relative to length, it becomes easier for the player to resist the instrument's tendency to jump to the second harmonic instead of producing the fundamental frequency.
An index of the units in the speech database is then created based on the segmentation and acoustic parameters like the fundamental frequency ( pitch ), duration, position in the syllable, and neighboring phones.
Each bar is paired with a resonator whose diameter is slightly wider than the width of the bar, and whose length to the closure is one-quarter of the wavelength of the fundamental frequency of the bar.
But, like many other mechanical resonators, crystals exhibit several modes of oscillation, usually at approximately odd integer multiples of the fundamental frequency.
By the same method as above, the fundamental frequency is found to be : At 20 °C (68 °F) the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s (1129 ft/s).
