History
Which combination of hammers produced consonance and which combination produced dissonance?
1. Hammer A with B & C
2. Hammer B & C
What is a ratio supposed to represent in music?
Constant changes in frequency, no matter the starting frequency
What's the base value for a pitch increase between intervals
(12th Root 2) Hz OR ~1.05946 Hz
What's the definition for Harmonics, Inharmonics, and Timbre?
Extra tones that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency
Extra tones that are non-integer multiples of the fundamental frequency
A quality of sound that’s shaped by the intensity and ratio of its overtones compared to the main frequency.
How many times did our group mates switch off to present a slide or section on their own?
6
What was the ratio of hammers B and C and what was that ratio called?
9:8, Whole Step
What's the difference between a scale and a chord?
Scales play a string of notes one by one.
Chords play series of notes simultaneously

List 2 instruments that likely have large timbre and soft timbre.
(I'll judge the given answer in the moment)
What time period did the legend of "Pythagoras and the four hammers" originate from?
Sixth Century B.C.
What's the largest 2:1 octave jump that a person could hear (referring to biggest difference in frequencies).
10,000 to 20,000

What's another contribution to music that Pythagoras is credited for?
Diatonic Scale
Unison, Major Second, Major Third, Perfect Fourth, Perfect Fifth, Major Sixth, Major Seventh, Octave
Find an approximation of the frequency of note 2 on Octave 1 using a 31-TET (assume that C Natural still starts with a frequency of 16.35Hz on Octave 0)
Round to nearest the 100th.
~51.12Hz
There's a x-int at x=1 and x=6. Find the volume of a solid formed by the enclosed area rotated around the x-axis.
(Referring to the graph shown on the Overtones Prt. 3 Slide where y=1/x)
(Answer will be read out loud)
