Two adjacent notes in the musical scale used in Western music have fundamental frequencies whose ratio is approximately 1.059. For example, the fundamental frequencies of the notes C-sharp and C have this ratio. The frequency of a note produced by a flute, or any other woodwind instrument, depends on the temperature. How much must the temperature change to change the note C into C-sharp? Assume the instrument is initially at 20°C and that you can use Equation 13.5 for the temperature dependence of the speed of sound in air.

(reference equation 13.5)
