What quantity is being reported?

The units of frequency are typically expressed as cycles per second or hertz (Hz).
Frequency
What domain is common?
20Hz<x<20,000Hz
Find/Explain the formula
P=log10(f)
Take the logarithm of the frequency of the note
What is the typical output range?
1.3010<y<4.3010
Why is a logarithmic scale appropriate?
Create one problem to solve that compares two different data points:
1.Note G
-Number of semitones above C=19
-Frequency=792 Hz
-Pitch/ Magnitude=2.8987
2.Note D
-Number of semitones above C=2
-Frequency=297 Hz
-Pitch/Magnitude=2.4728
3.Note B8
-Frequency=7902.13Hz
-Pitch/Magnitude=3.8977
The higher the frequency the higher the pitch. The pitch slowly increases as the frequency
increases. The Pitch is the Log of the frequency. Even though there is such a high frequency
difference, the pitch only changes a little bit from each note.
