MHB Ratio of fundamental frequencies

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the ratio of two frequencies: the 7th note at L/3 and the 12th note at L/2. To find the ratio, the formula used is L/3 divided by L/2. Simplifying this gives a ratio of 2:3. Participants express confidence in the simplicity of the calculation while seeking clarification on the solution. The final ratio of the two frequencies is 2:3.

The 7th note has a frequency of L/3 and the 12th has a frequency of L/2. What is the ratio of the two frequencies?

I feel like this is really easy but I don't know how to solve this.

Hi Mango12! (Smile)

Sounds like we need to calculate:
$$\frac{\frac L3}{\frac L2}$$

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
