Calculate Octaves from Frequency (O)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Octaves from Frequency (O) is:

\[ O = \frac{\log(Fu/Fl)}{\log(2)} \]

What is Octave Frequency?

Octave Frequency is a measure of the interval between two frequencies, where one frequency is double the other. It is commonly used in music and acoustics to describe the relationship between pitches.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the octaves from frequency:

\[ O = \frac{\log(2000/500)}{\log(2)} = \frac{\log(4)}{\log(2)} = 2 \]

The Octaves from Frequency (O) is 2.
