Question 3-11B2

Element 3 (GROL)

The second harmonic of a 380 kHz frequency is:

Explanation
In radio theory, a harmonic is an integer multiple of a fundamental frequency. The "second harmonic" refers to the fundamental frequency multiplied by two. To find the second harmonic of 380 kHz, you simply multiply: 380 kHz * 2 = 760 kHz. Therefore, 760 kHz (option B) is the correct answer. Option C, 190 kHz, would be the first subharmonic (380 kHz / 2), not a harmonic. Options A (2 MHz) and D (144.4 GHz) are incorrect values that do not represent a harmonic relationship with the given fundamental frequency.
