WHAT DOES SUBHARMONIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Subharmonic

In music and dynamics, subharmonic or undertone frequencies are frequencies below the main frequency of a signal. Subharmonic frequencies are frequencies below the fundamental frequency of an oscillator in a ratio of 1/n, with n a positive integer number. For example, if the fundamental frequency of an oscillator is 440 Hz, sub-harmonics include 220 Hz and 110 Hz. Thus, they are a mirror image of the harmonic series, the undertone series. Subharmonics can be produced by signal amplification through loudspeakers. They are naturally produced by bells, giving them their distinct sound. String quartets by composers George Crumb and Daniel James Wolf as well as works by violinist and composer Mari Kimura require string instrument players to bow with sufficient pressure that the strings vibrate causing the sound waves to modulate and demodulate by the instruments resonating horn with frequencies corresponding to subharmonics. The tritare, a guitar with Y shaped strings, cause subharmonics too. This can also be achieved by the extended technique of crossing two strings as some experimental jazz guitarists have developed.
