The notes of the musical scale always follow a set pattern of Tones and Semitones. If you look at a piano keyboard, 1 key up is a semitone, 2 keys up is a tone.
The major scale is
Start note, tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone
N - T- T - ST - T - T - T - ST
c - d - e - f - g - a - b - c
Hence, the scale of D major would then be
N - T- T - ST - T - T - T - ST
d - e - f# - g - a - b - c# -d
E major
e - f# - g#- a - b - c# - d# e
F major
f - g - a - Bb - c - d - e - f
etc.
The Harmonic Major Scale is
Start note, Tone, Semitone, Tone, Tone, semitone, 3semitones, Semitone
i.e.
C minor
N - T - ST - T - T - ST - 3ST - ST
C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - B - C
D minor
D - E - F - G - A - Bb - C# - D
etc.
Any notes can be used in a scale, but the major scale formula goes;
W W H W W W H
W stands for whole step and H stands for half step, so in C major there is a tone between C and D, a tone between D and E, a semitone between E and F, a tone between F and G, a tone between G and A, a tone between A and B and finally a semitone between B and C.
In the key of G, for example, the note F has to be raised to F♯ to keep the same formula W W H W W W H. Likewise in the key of F the B note needs to be lowered to Bb to keep the same formula. In the key of B major, all the black notes need to be used to keep this pattern.
We also only need to use each letter name once in a diatonic scale, for example it would be incorrect to call F "F" in the F♯ major scale (F♯, G♯, A♯, B, C♯, D♯, F, F♯). Notice we have two F notes and no E note in the scale, to resolve this problem - we need to rename F to E♯ (again because E♯ is a semitone higher than E, and there is no accidental key between E and F). Therefore the correct spelling of the scale is F♯, G♯, A♯, B, C♯, D♯, E♯, F♯.
This is often a confusion for beginners but they will master it eventually.
There are also minor and many other types of scale, but I'm just sticking with the major scale!
A series of notes in ascending and descending order following a pattern. Usually containing 8 notes, however some may not such as a chromatic scale or certain music genre scales.
The first note in any given scale is called "Tonic" or sometimes also referred as "Home."
What is the definition of a musivcal scale?
Scale- an arrangement of pitches from higher to lower according to a specific pattern of whole steps and half steps.
Scale is the correct musical term.

The scale is the numerical system that is used to define the axis of a graph.
You need to define how mean the scale points are.
Really good
"Defined items" are defined in terms of "undefined terms".
are you asking for help on finding definition for geometric terms? if so go to: http://library.thinkquest.org/2647/geometry/glossary.htm#b and to wikipedia for x and j terms
the three terms; point, line and plane can be defined although it is called the undefined terms still we know and we can define the meanings of that terms.. common sense? joke.

Logarithmic will give a more define shape of the graph
The scale in which measure the Quantitiy is called "unit".
