Second harmonic: L = λ n = 2, one wavelength fits into the length of the string. Third harmonic: L = 3λ/2, n = 3, 3/2 wavelengths fit into the length of the string.

What is the 2nd harmonic?
The lowest possible frequency at which a string could vibrate to form a standing wave pattern is known as the fundamental frequency or the first harmonic. The second lowest frequency at which a string could vibrate is known as the second harmonic; the third lowest frequency is known as the third harmonic; and so on.
What would be the frequency of the 2nd harmonic?
The harmonic frequencies are integer multiples [2, 3, 4, ...] of the fundamental frequency. For example, the 2nd harmonic on a 60 Hz system is 2*60 or 120 Hz.
What is the 2nd harmonic of 440 Hz?
If the fundamental frequency is 440 Hz, the harmonic frequencies would include 880 Hz, 1320 Hz, 1760 Hz, 2200 Hz, etc.
How do you calculate harmonic frequency?
Each harmonic frequency (fn) is given by the equation fn = n • f1 where n is the harmonic number and f1 is the frequency of the first harmonic.
