Question

The frequency of G5 is 783.99 Hz.

What is the frequency of the note that is a perfect fifth above G5?

Answer 1

I believe that musical notes are based on the 12th root of 2 which is 1.0594631
So if G5 is 783.99 Hz then G#5 would be 783.99 Hz * 1.0594631 = 830.61
A5 would be 783.99 * (1.0594631)^2 = 880.00
I think that should help you out a LOT.

Answer 2

I believe a perfect 5th above G would be D correct?
The notes to get there are
G#, A, Bb, B, C, C#, D
So you would get 783.99 and multiply it by 1.0594631 to the 7th power.

Okay 783.99 * (1.0594631)^7 =
783.99 * 1.49830707688
= 1,174.66 Hz
Okay now?

Answer 4

By the way I am a musician. I play electric guitar and love rock and roll. However, just because it is rock and roll, some folks actually want to know about the physics of music.
