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.

∙ 14y agoMost pianos are tuned to the frequence of A-440 (The A above middle C is 440 cycles per second) and the other keys are mathematically higher or lower than this frequency depending on where they fall on the scale.

∙ 14y agoMiddle "A" is normally tuned to 440 Hz (cycles per second)
The "A" an octave lower would be 220 Hz and the "A" an octave higher would be 880 Hz

How does playing the piano relate to science?
Science, or more specifically, physics is related to the piano. For example, some physics terminology related to the piano include oscillations, traveling waves, standing waves, and frequency. Frequency, the measurement of how fast an oscillation is changing, is very important to a piano. Frequency will increase with the stiffness of the strings in the piano. A scenario to show how important frequency is the tuning between a piano and another instrument. If they have different frequencies, the ear will be able to catch it due to the clashing of their sound waves.

What is the pitch of the harpsichord?
Loudness, pitch and timbre are approximately the correlates of signal amplitude, frequency and frequency spectrum, respectively.
How do you produce sound out of string instruments?
Pluck the string with your finger or with anything (like a pick or the hammer of a piano) and it will cause the string to vibrate at a frequency which is determined by the thickness of the string and the length of the string (which is a fixed length on a piano, but is determined by where you fret (push down on with your fingertip) the string on instruments like guitars and violins. The frequency of the vibration determines the note... since sound IS vibration.
Do piano tuners listen to the beat frequency between their tuning fork and the wire they are tuning?
Yes, they do. When the tuning fork (or the more modern electronic tone generator) is providing a reference tone, the tuner will strike a key and listen for a beat frequency between the reference and the piano string. With wrench in hand, the person tuning the instrument will take a bit of tension off the string, and will then increase the tension to bring the piano string "up" and equal to the frequency of the reference. The beat frequency will disappear as the tones become equal in frequency. It is the practice of the individuals tuning a piano to always bring a string of the instrument "up" to the frequency of the reference rather than "detuning" the string to lower the pitch and match it with the reference. With a bit of practice and patience ('cause you can always detune the string and "start over" to get it spot on), you can generally do a pretty good job of tuning the piano, though the professionals have been doing it for many years. These experienced folks have a good "ear" for the beat frequencies. The electronic references are modestly priced now, thanks to 21st century electronics. Note that there are cool electronic tuning units that will "listen" to the beat frequency and indicate to you when it disappears and a match has occurred. Our ears are generally fairly sensitive to the difference in the frequencies of two tones. When the tones "beat" on one another because they are being generated simultaneously, the difference between them is usually fairly obvious. Oh, and you are listening to the interference frequency between the two tones, which is what the beat frequency is. Certainly it's a bit of a challenge to accurately tune a piano, but many folks are fairly capable of doing it and only need a modicum of practice. Leave that big Steinway or Yamaha to the experts, but if you've got an old upright, have a go!

If a piano frequency is 256 hz on the right what is the frequency on the other side?
The correct answer is: 512hz on the right and 128hz on the left. The piano plays higher on the right and lower on the left. Glad I could help.
Is a note with a frequency of 262 hz lower than a note with a frequency of 880 hz?
That is correct. 262 Hz is the frequency of the note "middle C" on a piano keyboard, while 880 Hz is the frequency of the note A one octave above the note A above middle C on a piano keyboard.

A 1056 tuneing fork is struck and you hear 3 beats per second what is the frequency of the piano?
A tuning fork is a two-pronged steel device that is used by musicians. When a 1056-Hz tuning fork is struck at the same time a piano note is played, and 3 beats per second is emitted, the frequency of the piano is 1059 Hz.
Is there a musical note with a frequency of 7.8 hertz?
Given that the A above middle C has a frequency of 440 hertz, the lowest note on a regular piano has a frequency, rounded to two decimal places, of 27.50 hertz. Taking this an octave further down gives a frequency of 13.75, too low for a human ear to hear. Descending ten semitones, to two Bs below the bottom end of a piano, gives a frequency approximately equal to 13.75/(2^(1/12)10) = 7.72 Hertz, the closest genuine note to a 7.8 hertz frequency.

What is the wavelength of middle C on a piano?
wavelength = velocity/ frequency wavelength = 330/256 wavelength = 1.29 (to 3 sig fig) 1.30

What is the relationship between sound frequency and pitch?
When the frequency of a sound increases, a listener says the "pitch" has gone "up", but withouta bit of musical training, he has no way to describe how far.About the only way we have of associating "pitch" with a number is in terms of musical notes and intervals."Middle C" on the piano actually has several frequencies in it, but the main one is 256 Hz.Frequencies higher than 256 Hz correspond to piano keys above (to the right of) middle-C,and frequencies lower than 256 Hz correspond to piano keys lower (to the left).When the frequency of a sound is doubled, the listener perceives that the pitch has gone up by one "octave".When the frequency is lowered by half, the pitch goes down by one octave.
