12 half-tones = 1 octave = double the frequency
1 half tone = multiply frequency by the 12th root of 2 = 1.0594631 (rounded)
'E' above 'A' is 7 half tones above 'A'.
Frequency of 'E' above = (440) x (2)7/12 = 659.3 Hz.(rounded)
'E' below 'A' is 5 half tones below 'A'.
Frequency of 'E' below = (440) divided by (2)5/12 = 329.6 Hz . (rounded)
Notice that, by golly, the frequencies we calculated for 'E' above and 'E' below
are in the ratio of 2 to 1 . . . they're an octave apart, just as we would hope.

When a 440 Hz sound is sent through steel a wWhat is the speed of a sound wave that has a wavelength of 1.2 meters and a frequency of 250 Hz?
When a 440 Hz sound is sent through steel, a wavelength of 11.6 meters is measured. What is the velocity of the sound through steel
Is it possible for a 440 hz sound wave to be louder than an 880 hz sound wave?
Absolutely 440 Hz is the frequency of the A note that is 1½ steps below middle C, the top line of the bass clef. 880 Hz is the frequency of the A note one octave higher, the second space from the bottom of the treble clef. On a piano, if you slam hard on the lower of those two A keys and just lightly press the higher one, the 440-Hz sound will be louder than the 880-Hz sound. The loudness, or amplitude, of a sound wave has to do with how tightly the air molecules (or the molecules of whatever the sound-propagating medium is) are packed in each wave of the sound, while the sound's frequency or pitch has to do with how frequently the waves are generated (440 times per second in the case of a 440-Hz sound), or how far apart the waves are (frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength).
How many feet is the 440 yard dash?

What is the fundamental frequency of a violin string is 440 Hz the frequency of its second harmonic is?
440 cycles per second. 1 Hz = 1 cycle per second
What is the frequency of the musical note E?
in A=440 tuning, "E" (bottom string on a guitar and E2 on a piano) is 82.40, give or take 0.5 depending on the style and accuracy of the musical tuning. There are other notes called "E". The lowest E on the piano, E1 or EE, has a theoretical frequency of 41.20 Hz (cycles per second) and the highest, E7 or e'''', is 2637.02 Hz. The other E's are: E3 or e; 164.82 Hz, E4 or e' (top string on a guitar); 329.63 Hz, E5 or e''; 659.26 Hz, and E6 or e'''; 1318.51 Hz.
What hertz is a guitar tuned to d?
440 everyones tuners are too
How does a high-pitch musical note compare with a low one in terms of frequency?
Higher notes have higher frequencies. A typical tuning fork vibrates at 440 Hertz. That's the tone of the A above middle-C on a piano. The A one octave higher is 880 Hz (2 x 440 Hz). The A one octave above that is 1760 Hz (2 x 880 Hz). The A below middle-C is 220 Hz (440 Hz ÷ 2), the next lower A is 110 Hz, and so on. The lowest note on a piano is 27½ Hz, and the highest is 4186 Hz.

What is the frequency of a on the piano?
That all depends on which A you're referring to. The first note, at the lowest pitch on the piano is known as Ao, and is 27.5 Hz The next one up the keyboard is A1, andis 55.0 HZ A2 is 110.0 Hz, A3 is 220.0 Hz, A4 (A above middle C) is 440.0 Hz, A5 is 880.0 Hz, A6 is 1760.0 Hz, A7 is 3520.0 Hz.
440 Hz what is the period?
Period is 1/440s = 0.00227 to 3 significant figures.
What is the wavelength of a low A note on a bass guitar?
The lowest note on an acoustic guitar is an open E, on the E string. the equivalent note on a bass guitar is the second fret of the D string, or the 7th fret of the A string, or the 12 fret of the E string..
