A note has a frequency of 128 Hz. What is the frequency of a note two octaves higher than it?

A

32 Hz

B

64 Hz

C

512 Hz

D

256 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Octave corresponds to double the frequency. First octave of 128 Hz is 256 Hz and the octave of 256 is 512 Hz
Thus a frequency of 512 Hz is two octaves higher
