उत्तर
| Sr. No. | Harmonic | Overtone |
| 1. | The first harmonic is the natural frequency of vibration. | The first overtone is the next higher frequency of vibration. |
| 2. | Harmonics are simply integral multiples of the fundamental frequency. | Overtones are not necessarily integral multiples of the fundamental frequency. They are frequencies other than the fundamental frequency. |
| 3. | All harmonics may or may not be present in vibration. | All overtones are always present in the vibration. |
