    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

  3. Harmonic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic

    As all harmonics are periodic at the fundamental frequency, the sum of harmonics is also periodic at that frequency. The set of harmonics forms a harmonic series . The term is employed in various disciplines, including music, physics, acoustics , electronic power transmission, radio technology, and other fields.

  4. 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.

  5. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    This classification goes in the increasing order of wavelength, which is characteristic of the type of radiation. [1] There are no precisely defined boundaries between the bands of the electromagnetic spectrum; rather they fade into each other like the bands in a rainbow. Radiation of each frequency and wavelength (or in each band) has a mix of ...

  7. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    Even higher-frequency waves are called X-rays, and higher still are gamma rays. All of these waves, from the lowest-frequency radio waves to the highest-frequency gamma rays, are fundamentally the same, and they are all called electromagnetic radiation. They all travel through vacuum at the same speed (the speed of light), giving them ...

  8. Audio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_frequency

    An audio frequency or audible frequency (AF) is a periodic vibration whose frequency is audible to the average human. The SI unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz). It is the property of sound that most determines pitch. [1] The generally accepted standard hearing range for humans is 20 to 20,000 Hz.

  9. Wavenumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber

    [2] [3] [4] It is analogous to temporal frequency, which is defined as the number of wave cycles per unit time (ordinary frequency) or radians per unit time (angular frequency). In multidimensional systems, the wavenumber is the magnitude of the wave vector. The space of wave vectors is called reciprocal space.
