What Is a Line Spectrum?
A line spectrum is a spectrum composed of discrete frequency components. For example, if a sound contains only one frequency, then its spectrum has only one line; if there are n frequency components, its spectrum contains n lines.

- In the frequency spectrum of sounds made by instruments such as flute and violin, there are a series of discrete frequency components, and a series of spectral lines on the spectrum diagram. The lowest frequency component is called the fundamental tone, and the other higher frequency components are called overtones. In musical tones, the overtone frequency is an integral multiple of the pitch, so it sounds harmonious.
