  2. Radio spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_spectrum

    Frequency range Explanation of meaning of letters; HF: 0.003 to 0.03 GHz: High frequency [18] VHF: 0.03 to 0.3 GHz: Very high frequency [18] UHF: 0.3 to 1 GHz: Ultra-high frequency [18] L: 1 to 2 GHz: Long wave S: 2 to 4 GHz: Short wave C: 4 to 8 GHz: Compromise between S and X X: 8 to 12 GHz: Used in World War II for fire control, X for cross ...

  3. High frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_frequency

    HF's position in the electromagnetic spectrum.. High frequency (HF) is the ITU designation [1] for the band of radio waves with frequency between 3 and 30 megahertz (MHz). It is also known as the decameter band or decameter wave as its wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten to one hundred meters).

  4. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are produced, how they interact with matter, and their practical applications.

  5. Harmonic series (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

    The fourth harmonic vibrates at four times the frequency of the fundamental and sounds a perfect fourth above the third harmonic (two octaves above the fundamental). Double the harmonic number means double the frequency (which sounds an octave higher). An illustration in musical notation of the harmonic series (on C) up to the 20th harmonic.

  6. Orders of magnitude (frequency) - Wikipedia

    Acoustic – frequency of G −7, the lowest note sung by the singer with the deepest voice in the world, Tim Storms. His vocal cords vibrate 1 time every 5.29 seconds. 10 0: 1 hertz (Hz) 1 to 1.66 Hz: Approximate frequency of an adult human's resting heart beat: 1 Hz: 60 bpm, common tempo in music 2 Hz: 120 bpm, common tempo in music ~7.83 Hz

  7. String vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_vibration

    The speed of propagation of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the period, or multiplied by the frequency: v = λ τ = λ f . {\displaystyle v={\frac {\lambda }{\tau }}=\lambda f.} If the length of the string is L {\displaystyle L} , the fundamental harmonic is the one produced by the vibration whose nodes are the two ends of the ...

  8. Musical tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_tone

    Traditionally in Western music, a musical tone is a steady periodic sound. A musical tone is characterized by its duration, pitch, intensity (or loudness), and timbre (or quality). [1] The notes used in music can be more complex than musical tones, as they may include aperiodic aspects, such as attack transients, vibrato, and envelope modulation.

  9. Colors of noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colors_of_noise

    Noise that has a frequency spectrum of predominantly zero power level over all frequencies except for a few narrow bands or spikes. Note: An example of black noise in a facsimile transmission system is the spectrum that might be obtained when scanning a black area in which there are a few random white spots. Thus, in the time domain, a few ...
