Question

If a pitch vibrates at 880 cycles, the octave below would vibrate at ____ cycles. 220 440 660 1760

Answer 1

Answer:

If a pitch vibrates at 880 cycles, the octave below would vibrate at 440 cycles.

Explanation:

Pitch of sound is defined as relative highest and the lowest point of sound. The pitch is dependent on frequency of vibration.

Octave is defined as a tone which is formed due to merging of two different tone. The resultant tone is merged so well that it sound like a single tone.

Thus, Number cycle in octave = $\frac{number of cycles in a pitch}{2}$

Number cycle in octave = $\frac{880}{2}$

Number cycle in octave = 440

Thus, If a pitch vibrates at 880 cycles, the octave below would vibrate at 440 cycles.
