Waves



Am I correct in explaining string instruments, to say that a string
actually vibrates in many modes simultaneously when bowed or plucked?
That is, is it producing its fundamental along with several harmonics
all at the same time?

Is it possible to show this behavior (if the notion is correct) with a
string vibrator or other equipment, rather than just postulating to
students that this does in fact occur?

Thanks for any assistance on this one.
