When we hear a sound, we understand it mainly on the basis of three parameters, called intensity, pitch and tone. These quantities, in turn, depend on certain measurable quantities associated with the sound.
Which of the following statements regarding the tone of a sound is not correct?
(a) The tone of a sound depends on its waveform.
(b) We identify the source of a sound by its tone.
(c) The tone of a sound improves if most of its harmonics are present along with the fundamental.
(d) The second harmonic of a sound can also be called its second overtone.
