How to visualize time harmonics of a wave in real sense?

[mudasir]

hi

how we can visualize time harmonics of a wave in real sense.
harmonics are like

1w , 2w , 3 w (where w is frequency)

so what does time harmonics of a wave means

Re: Time Harmonics

There will be amplitudes and phase associated with the harmonics. Usually for the sake of conservation of energy the higher frequencies contain lower amplitudes. Each harmonic is a sinusoidal oscillation in time domain with different phases. If you simply superimpose them on one another you will get the actual waveform whose harmonics you found out.
