### Understanding Octaves and FrequencyWhen two musical notes are an octave apart, the frequency of the higher note is twice that of the lower note. The commonly referred note, concert A (A4), typically has a frequency of 440 Hz, although there can be some variation.**Question 1:**What is the frequency \( f_{A6} \) of a note that is two octaves above (higher than) A4 in pitch?\[ f_{A6} = \_\_\_ \, \text{Hz} \]**Question 2:**If a certain string on a viola is tuned to middle C (C4) by adjusting its tension to \( F_{C4} \), what should be the tension (in terms of \( F_{C4} \)) of the string, \( F_{C3} \), so that it plays a note one octave below middle C?\[ F_{C3} = \_\_\_ \, F_{C4} \]

GIVEN: Frequency of higher note = 2(freq of lower note ) Frequency of note A4 = 440Hz

If two musical notes are an octave apart, the frequency of the higher note is twice that of the lower note. The note referred to as concert A (A4) usually has a frequency of 440 Hz (although there is some variation). What is the frequency fa6 of a note that is two octaves above (higher than) A4 in pitch? fA6 = Hz If a certain string on a viola is tuned to middle C (C4) by adjusting its tension to FCa, what should be the tension (in terms of FCA) of the string, Fc3, so that it plays a note one Fc3 = FC4 octave below middle C?
