Higher resonant frequencies which are almost exact multiples of a fundamental frequency are called ________.
A) carriers
B) overtones
C) oscillations
D) cosine waves

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overtones are harmonic frequencies that are multiples of a fundamental frequency. These higher resonant frequencies are produced along with the fundamental frequency in many sound-producing systems such as musical instruments, speakers, and vocal cords. Carriers refer to a modulated wave that carries a signal, oscillations refer to the repetitive motion of an object around its equilibrium position, and cosine waves are mathematical functions that describe oscillatory behavior.
