wavelength
harmonics
frequency
velocity
स्पष्टीकरण
Timber/ quality depends on the overtones or harmonics, and timber is a characteristic property of source of sound,
A harmonic is a wave with a frequency that is a positive integer multiple of the fundamental frequency,
These rest on the fundamental property of FREQUENCY.
