Measuring Music

The video tutorial explores the mathematical relationships between musical notes using a sonometer. It demonstrates how altering the length of a vibrating wire changes the pitch, illustrating the concept of musical scales and harmonizing notes. The experiment shows that notes are related by mathematical ratios, such as the octave and the fifth. The tutorial also discusses how these principles apply to musical instruments, highlighting the role of string length in determining pitch, as first developed by Pythagoras.
