  2. Hertz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz

    The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), often described as being equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second. [1] [a] The hertz is an SI derived unit whose formal expression in terms of SI base units is s −1, meaning that one hertz is one per second or the reciprocal of one second. [2]

  3. Piano key frequencies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies

    This is a list of the fundamental frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the keys of a modern 88-key standard or 108-key extended piano in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A 4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440). [1] [2] Every octave is made of twelve steps called semitones. A jump from the lowest ...

  4. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    Frequency (symbol f), most often measured in hertz (symbol: Hz), is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. [1] It is also occasionally referred to as temporal frequency for clarity and to distinguish it from spatial frequency.

    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: Fundamental frequency of the Schumann resonances: 10 1: 10 hertz 10 Hz: Cyclic rate of a typical automobile engine at idle (equivalent to 600 rpm) 12 Hz

  6. Piano tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_tuning

    In all systems of tuning, every pitch may be derived from its relationship to a chosen fixed pitch, which is usually A440 (440 Hz), the note A above middle C. For a classical piano and musical theory, the middle C is usually labelled as C 4 (as in scientific pitch notation ); However, in the MIDI standard definition this middle C (261.626 Hz ...

  7. Interval ratio - Wikipedia

    For example, a just perfect fifth (for example C to G) is 3:2 (Play ⓘ), 1.5, and may be approximated by an equal tempered perfect fifth (Play ⓘ) which is 2 7/12 (about 1.498). If the A above middle C is 440 Hz , the perfect fifth above it would be E , at (440*1.5=) 660 Hz, while the equal tempered E5 is 659.255 Hz.

    In the midst of a big order for EVs from General Motors, rental car company Hertz decides to unload EVs, citing higher repair costs, weak demand. Hertz will sell a third of its EV fleet to buy ...

  9. Octave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave

    The ratio of frequencies of two notes an octave apart is therefore 2:1. Further octaves of a note occur at 2 n {\displaystyle 2^{n}} times the frequency of that note (where n is an integer), such as 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. and the reciprocal of that series.
