Question

Wavelength and Frequency

Examine the following wavelength

Explain why the wavelength would represent two notes that sound terrible together.

Answer 1

The blue wave is of a short wavelength hence high frequency.

The red wave is of long wavelength hence low frequency.

But the two waves have the same amplitude.

Answer 2

Notes that sound bad together can be dissonant. The dissonance is caused by the acoustic waves interfering with each other. On the interval of an octave, the note with higher pitch has a wavelength that is half as long as the lower note. As for scales, think of the individual notes as Lego bricks.
