Question

A low “G” note has a frequency of 98 Hz. Which frequency of note, if played with this G, would produce a dissonant sound?1) 208 Hz2) 122.5 Hz3) 131 Hz4) 147

Answer 1

1) 208 Hz

Explanation:

For the sound to be dissonant, the frequency must be more than double, therefore

`98\cdot2=196`

The only frequency greater than 196 Hz is option 1
