Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 22P
People with very good pitch discrimination can very quickly determine what note they are listening to. The note on the musical scale called C6 (two octaves above middle C) has a frequency of 1050 Hz. Some trained musicians can identify this note after hearing only 12 cycles of the wave. How much time does this correspond to?
