Question

Wavelength and Frequency

Determine the ratio of the notes to middle C.
Express the answers as a simple integer ratio. (Ratios will be approximate due to rounding.)

The smaller the numbers in the ratio, the greater the consonance. Decide which of the notes when played with middle C would have the greatest dissonance.

a. G and C
b. B and C
c. D and C
d. E and C

Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answer 1

B. B and C

Explanation:

I calculated it logically

Answer 2

The answer would be a. G and C.

Explanation:

When calculating G/C, 329/261.6= 1.49847 rounded.

We are looking for the closest integer ratio to that number which is 3 to 2. A 3/2 ratio =1.5 which is as close to 1.49847 as you are going to get with a ratio. Hope this helps!
