  2. Musical temperament - Wikipedia

    This third tone then creates intervals with the original two tones, and the difference between these is called a second differential. Differentials are soft and difficult for the untrained ear to detect. [9] Nevertheless, these relationships between differentials play a large role in determining which tunings create consonant sound.

  3. Tempered glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_glass

    Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(metallurgy)

    In the third stage, ε-carbon precipitates into cementite, and the carbon content in the martensite decreases. If tempered at higher temperatures, between 650 °C (1,202 °F) and 700 °C (1,292 °F), or for longer amounts of time, the martensite may become fully ferritic and the cementite may become coarser or more spherical.

    12-tone equal temperament chromatic scale on C, one full octave ascending, notated only with sharps. Play ascending and descending ⓘ. 12 equal temperament (12-ET) [a] is the musical system that divides the octave into 12 parts, all of which are equally tempered (equally spaced) on a logarithmic scale, with a ratio equal to the 12th root of 2 (≈ 1.05946).

    Where we have two ratios for a given letter name or swara, we have a difference of 81:80 (22 cents), which is the syntonic comma [9] or the praman [13] in Indian music theory. These notes are known as chala. [13] The distance between two letter names comes in to sizes, poorna (256:243) and nyuna (25:24). [13]

    For 12 tone equally-tempered tuning, the fifths have to be tempered by considerably less than a ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ comma (very close to a ⁠ 1 / 11 ⁠ syntonic comma, or a ⁠ 1 / 12 ⁠ Pythagorean comma), since they must form a perfect cycle, with no gap at the end, whereas ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ comma meantone tuning, as mentioned above, has a residual ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_glass

    Broken tempered glass showing the shape of the granular chunks Toughened glass is processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. [ 6 ] Tempering, by design, creates balanced internal stresses which causes the glass sheet, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks of similar ...

  9. Kirnberger temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirnberger_temperament

    Kirnberger II temperament; −Z/2 marks a tempered fifth flattened by a half comma; −Sch marks a schisma. Kirnberger's first method of compensating for and closing the circle of fifths was to split the "wolf" interval, known to those who have used meantone temperaments, in half between two different fifths. That is, to compensate for the one ...
