What is the frequency in hertz of 103 MHz?

That is the frequency of the G Sharp/A flat two octaves below middle C (great octave).


What frequency is 2 octaves below 1200 Hz?

An octave is a factor of 2 in the frequency. So, just divide 1200 Hz. by 2, then divide the result by 2 again.


How does the heat effects the melting of the snow?

The higher the heat, the faster the atoms will vibrate and break up into a liquid. but when freezing the atoms move slower and freeze because it is below the freezing point.


Does sound travel by air vibrating?

Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air. They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate. The vibrating air then causes the human eardrum to vibrate, which the brain interprets as sound. Go to the link below to find out more... http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/01/sound-waves.html


Why is vibration and sound the same?

When you strike a bass drum with the stick, the surface of the drum vibrates. This means the surface is moving up and down at a specific frequency. The up and down motion of the surface of the drum causes the air next to the surface to vibrate. This vibrational motion moves through the air. This is a sound wave. The Media College website listed in the links area has a picture of a sound wave moving from a speaker, through the air, and into the person's ear. The Physics dot org link has a video that describes how a speaker produces a sound wave. As a battery is attached to the terminals of the speaker, the electromagnet quickly pulls the speaker in one direction. When the speaker is attached to a radio, the radio is sending low voltage alternating current through the speaker wires. The alternating current causes the electromagnet to move back and forth at the same frequency as the current. This causes the face of the speaker to vibrate at the same frequency. This causes the air in front of the speaker to vibrate at the same frequency. Now a sound wave is moving through the air. The Connections website listed below describes how humans speak. Let me take this one step farther. When the vibrating air enters your ear, it causes your ear drum to vibrate. The Franklin Institute website listed below describes how the vibrating air affects the human ear. In my 1st example, the energy of the vibrating bass drum moves through the air and into your ear. In your ear, this energy causes your ear drum to vibrate. The energy just keeps moving until it reaches your brain. Sound waves are a means of transporting oscillating energy from one place to another. Now you know how vibration and sound are related.

Two notes form an octave how are there frequencies related?

Any note sounds similar to the note an octave above it- to understand this you have to know that each musical note can be represented by a frequency in Herz (Hz). This tells you how many times a string would vibrate per second if you were to tune the string to that note. For example, the A above middle C is standard at 440 Hz. A string vibrates back and forth 440 times per second to make this note. If you were to play an A an octave above the one you just played, you would have to make the string vibrate twice as fast. In other words, it would be vibrating at 880 Hz (440 x 2). And if you wanted to go an octave below A 440, you would divide the number in half to get 220 Hz. The ratio of the frequency of any note (including a C) to the frequency of a note an octave below it is 1:2. If were able to freeze a string in mid-vibration and look at the actual physical positions of it as it vibrates twice as fast, you would see that the base note would be vibrating like the outline of an eye, which the note an octave above it would be vibrating like the shape of a sideways figure 8 with pointy ends. You can try it yourself with a long rubber band- pluck the note of the whole length of the rubber band. Now divide it in half with your finger. You will get a note one octave above it. Hope I made things better instead of worse!


What are the frequencies of a 300 Hz note one octave above and one octave below the note?

One octave above 300 Hz = 600 Hz. One octave below 300 Hz = 150 Hz.


In order to sing the bass line do you have to be an octave below the pitch note?

yes, you would be expected most of time to sing the notes octave below the melody pitch.


Is the viola high pitch or low pitch?

A viola is in the key of C, and is tuned in fifths. The lowest string is tuned an octave below middle C, then G, D, and A. Each string is an octave higher then a cello.

What is a bass C?

A bass C is the note one octave below middle C.


What does 8va?

8va means that you have to play the tune an octave higher or lower. Together with 8va you should find a hairpin that starts from where you should play an octave higher or lower till when you should stop. If you find it on top of the music you should play it an octave higher, if you find it below the music, you should play it an octave lower


What is the name of the recorders?

The most commonly played recorders are the soprano, alto, tenor and bass recorders. Respectively, they are tuned to C, F, C, and F. Less commonly played instruments include the garklein (pitched in C, an octave above the soprano), sopranino (pitched in F, an octave above the alto), great bass (pitched in C, and octave below the tenor), and sub-contrabass recorders (pitched in F, an octave below the bass).


How do microphones collect sound?

Different types of microphone have different ways of converting energy but they all share one thing in common: The diaphragm. This is a thin piece of material (such as paper, plastic or aluminium) which vibrates when it is struck by sound waves. In a typical hand-held mic like the one below, the diaphragm is located in the head of the microphone.When the diaphragm vibrates, it causes other components in the microphone to vibrate. These vibrations are converted into an electrical current which becomes the audio signal.


What does the tenor vocal range sound like?

about average in terms of high-low pitch. a good tenor's range is typically from an octave below middle c to an octave above middle c.


What does gva mean in sheet music?

Play one octave higher than written. The "g" is actual an 8.


Why high voltage makes humming noise?

The high voltage does not make a humming sound. In fact, it is possible to create a high voltage line that does not make any sound. Still, you hear a sound. What you are hearing is the high voltage making something vibrate. In the United States it is vibrating at 60 cycles per second which is about A# 3 octaves below middle C. In Europe it is vibrating at 50 cycles per second which is about G# 3 octaves below middle C.


What is a oc tcave?

If you mean "octave", it is a group of eight things. Most commonly it is used to describe the relationship between a musical tone and another which has half or double its frequency. The tone with half the frequency is an octave below and the one with double the frequency is an octave above. It's called an octave because it's the eighth note in a diatonic (major or minor) scale.
