Then by dividing the string in half and plucking it again, the sound produced is exactly one octave higher than the first note.
Trigonometry is also related to music. The vibration of a plucked string can be expressed in a mathematical function. The function is p(t) = A sin (Bt+C). T is point in time where pressure varies. A is the volume of the note and, B is the frequency of the note. Another
