Can you guess this note? Perfect Pitch and Physics

The video explores the concept of perfect pitch, a musical ability to identify notes without reference. It includes demonstrations by musicians with perfect pitch and discusses the difference between perfect and relative pitch. The video also examines how timbre affects pitch recognition and the challenges of learning perfect pitch after a certain age. The host, Dianna, uses physics to explain sound waves and their role in music perception, concluding with insights into the critical period for developing perfect pitch.
