This is a frequency and wavelength chart for real (and extrapolated
out to beyond real) musical notes.
Notice the lower frequencies are in [decimal] feet, the middle frequencies are in BOTH feet
and inches
and the highest frequencies are in inches only for convenience.
The boxes closest to 20 Hz and 20 KHz, the defined limits to human hearing, have pink backgrounds.
A-440 is in a YELLOW box. The area around 80 Hz, the often suggested crossover freq for Home
theater /surround
systems has 2 boxes marked in a recognizable tan color.
The fundamental frequency of the lowest note on a regular piano = A0 = 27.5 Hz and the highest
is C8=4186 Hz.
These boxes are white on black. The Boesendorfer Model 290 has 9 extra sub-bass notes down
to the low C at 16.4 Hz.
FULL WAVELENGTHS ARE SHOWN; REMEMBER A HALF WAVELENGTH IS HALF AS LONG.
Since sound travels at about 1130 ft/sec at approx 68 degrees F, a frequency of 1130 Hz would
have a wavelength of a foot.
The closest box is in GREEN so it's easier to find.
IE users: if you adjust the FONT SIZE appropriately, you will also adjust how the chart prints
on paper.
