Starting at middle C. with a frequency of 260 cps. find the frequency of a note thirteen half-steps above middle C. The frequency thirteen half-steps above 260 cps is

Answer 1

To find the frequency thirteen half-steps above middle C, we need to apply the formula:

frequency of a note = base frequency * 2^(n/12)

where n represents the number of half-steps away from the base frequency.

Since we want to find the frequency thirteen half-steps above 260 cps, we can substitute the values as follows:

frequency = 260 * 2^(13/12)

Now, let's calculate the frequency:

frequency = 260 * 2^(13/12)
≈ 260 * 1.797

Therefore, the frequency of a note thirteen half-steps above middle C is approximately 466.19 cps.
