Like many musical scales it is made u of se(en notes= the eighth du licates the first at double its fre7uency so that it is called a higher octa(e of the same note (from Latin >octa(us>, the eighth).

.efinition= An octa(e is a musical inter(al with the distance of= $@ half ste s in the chromatic scale. A or B notes in the diatonic scale. (An octa(e consists of A uni7ue notes, but s ans BC octo is Latin for 4eight.5) Two notes s aced one octa(e a art sound similar, des ite one being higher in itch. This is because the higher noteDs fre7uency (its attern of sound wa(es) is double the s eed of the lower note, but that attern is the same for both notes - this is the similarity your ear is obser(ing.
