[ARC5] Harmonic question

[AKLDGUY .]

Suppose I have a properly adjusted AM transmitter and am operating it.

What would a nearby listener hear at say, the third or fifth harmonic,
assuming a good strength carrier at that frequency is present at his
receiver?

Is the bandwidth of the sidebands 3x or 5x, so all that's heard is
incomprehensible splatter?

This is not a trick question. The textbooks don't address this at all.
