Octave: Music & Science

In music, an octave (Latin: octavus: eighth) or perfect octave (sometimes called the diapason) is an interval between two tones, one having twice the frequency of vibration of the other. For instance, the interval between C4 and C5 (in scientific pitch notation) is an octave.
