  2. Piano key frequencies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies

    A jump from the lowest semitone to the highest semitone in one octave doubles the frequency (for example, the fifth A is 440 Hz and the sixth A is 880 Hz). The frequency of a pitch is derived by multiplying (ascending) or dividing (descending) the frequency of the previous pitch by the twelfth root of two (approximately 1.059463).

  5. Scientific pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_pitch

    Scientific pitch, also known as philosophical pitch, Sauveur pitch or Verdi tuning, is an absolute concert pitch standard which is based on middle C (C 4) being set to 256 Hz rather than ~ 261.63 Hz, [a] making it ~ 31.77 cents lower than the common A440 pitch standard.

  6. Sound energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_energy

    In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.

  7. Photon energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_energy

    Photon energy is the energy carried by a single photon. The amount of energy is directly proportional to the photon's electromagnetic frequency and thus, equivalently, is inversely proportional to the wavelength. The higher the photon's frequency, the higher its energy. Equivalently, the longer the photon's wavelength, the lower its energy.

  8. Q factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor

    The Q factor is a parameter that describes the resonance behavior of an underdamped harmonic oscillator (resonator). Sinusoidally driven resonators having higher Q factors resonate with greater amplitudes (at the resonant frequency) but have a smaller range of frequencies around that frequency for which they resonate; the range of frequencies for which the oscillator resonates is called the ...

  9. Pulsed radiofrequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_radiofrequency

    Pulsed radiofrequency is the technique whereby radio frequency (RF) oscillations are gated at a rate of pulses (cycles) per second (one cycle per second is known as a hertz (Hz)). Radio frequency energies occupy 1.0 × 10 4 Hz to 3.0 × 10 11 Hz of the electromagnetic spectrum .
