What Is the Nth Harmonic?
In Mathematics, the N-Th Harmonic Number Is the Sum of the Reciprocals of the First N Natural Numbers: Harmonic Numbers Are Related to the Harmonic Mean in...

Simply so, how do you find the harmonic number?
The frequencies of the various harmonics are multiples of the frequency of the first harmonic. 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.
One may also ask, is the harmonic series convergent? for any real number p. When p = 1, the p-series is the harmonic series, which diverges. Either the integral test or the Cauchy condensation test shows that the p-series converges for all p > 1 (in which case it is called the over-harmonic series) and diverges for all p ≤ 1.
Similarly, you may ask, why the harmonic series diverges?
For a convergent series, the limit of the sequence of partial sums is a finite number. We say the series diverges if the limit is plus or minus infinity, or if the limit does not exist. In this video, Sal shows that the harmonic series diverges because the sequence of partial sums goes to infinity.
What is first harmonic?
A harmonic of such a wave is a wave with a frequency that is a positive integer multiple of the frequency of the original wave, known as the fundamental frequency. The original wave is also called the 1st harmonic, the following harmonics are known as higher harmonics.
