Because the sound of an instrument is different but the actual pitch for the instruments are the same.

What is the period of a note that has a wavelength of 0.2 meters?
We think of a sound in air. Speed of sound c = 343 meters per second at 20 degrees Celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The Frequency f = speed of sound c divided by wavelength lambda. Frequency f = 343 / 0.2 = 1715 Hz. The period of time T = 1 / f, that is 1 / 1715 = 0.0005831 seconds = 0.5831 milliseconds. Scroll down to related links and look at "Time period and cycle duration - periodic time to frequency, and frequency to time period".
How is math is part of music?
There are several aspects. One main relation, which is quite interesting is the frequency of the musical notes. A difference of one octave corresponds to a vibration ratio of 2:1. That is, if a certain "C" has a certain frequency, then the next "C" (further to the right on the piano) has twice that frequency. Each octave is divided into 12 equal intervals; thus, the frequency ratio of one semi-note is 1 : 12th. root of 2, or about 1 : 1.0595. (On the piano, a semi-note is the interval between a white key and the black key next to it, or between two white keys if there is no black key in between.)
How many months are in 78 weeks?
Please note that different months have different lengths, so an exact answer is not possible. Divide the number of weeks by 4.35 to get an approximation.
What is sixteenth note as a decimal?
0.0625 note.
In Precalculus I have to choose a real world situation of an exponential nature that is related to our majors Mine is music therapy while my patner's is psychology I need a made up problem please?
Music is easy. The frequency of any note is twice the frequency of the same note an octave below. Middle C is 261.625 Hertz so k octaves higher is 261.625*2kand k octaves lower is 261.625-k.You can work with that. I don't know what precalculus is - we did not waste time with such things when I was a student - along with other dinosaurs! Then, you either studied calculus or you didn't! End of! That means I don't know what level you are at.But you might be able to develop: if the human ear can make out 20 to 20,000 Hertz, what are the lowest and highest Cs that can be heard?
What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
What is another name for the pitch of a sound?
The note, the frequency or the wavelength.
How are beats useful in tuning musical instruments?
By tuning musical instrument we mean that to produce a note of Desired frequency. Take a standard musical instrument of well defined frequency. The new musical instrument and the standard instrument are sounded together. Initially we will hear mixed sound due to slightly frequency difference between them. The frequency of the musical instrument is gradually adjusted till we will hear same sound. When this happens, the musical instrument Will produce the note of desired frequency and is said to be turned. In this way, beats become useful in tuning a musical instrument.
What quality of sound does the frequency determine?
The Pitch or note.
What will you hear if the frequency of the sound is decreased?
A lower note.
A pitch can be changed by changing?
The frequency at which the instrument's sound making parts are vibrating. A guitar string vibrating at 440 times a second will produce a perfectly tuned A note.
What is the overtone series?
The overtone series is a series of frequencies that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency of a sound. When a musical instrument produces a note, it actually produces a complex waveform that includes the fundamental frequency and various overtones. These overtones give each instrument its unique tone color or timbre.
When you tighten an instrument is the sound high pitcheda louder note or a low pitched note?
The sound is lower pitched.
How does a brass instrument make noise?
Brass instruments are different from all the other instruments in that the person playing is solely responsible for the sound of the instrument. Brass instruments require the player to buzz their lips in the mouthpiece. This sound reverberates throughout the instrument and produces the sound that comes out of it. This differs from other instruments, where the player makes part of the instrument vibrate (i.e. reed, string, drum head). The pitch of brass instruments is then changed by changing the frequency of the vibrations created by the lips. If you buzz your lips at a higher pitch, the instrument plays a higher note. The opposite is also true. Buzzing your lips at a lower pitch creates a lower note.
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
What is the pitch of a music note?
The pitch is the frequency of the sound waves and determines how high or low the note is.
What is the difference between a low note and a high note?
high note has high frequency (cycles per second) . Low note has low frequency. The sound originated by a high frequency note oscillates more times per second, while a low frequency note oscillates less times per second.
