The correct answer is harmonic.
The correct answer is "harmonic."
To determine the interval between two notes played simultaneously, you need to know the distance between the two notes in terms of their pitch. Here's how you can understand and identify different types of intervals:
1. Start by identifying the distance between the two notes in terms of letter names. For example, if the two notes are C and E, count all the letter names in between them (C, D, E).
2. Next, determine the number of half steps or semitones between the two notes. Remember that on a piano or keyboard, moving from one key to the adjacent key (white or black) is considered a half step. Count the number of keys you need to move from one note to the other. For example, from C to E, you would count four half steps (C#, D, D#, E).
3. Now you can identify the type of interval based on its number of half steps:
- 1 half step: minor 2nd
- 2 half steps: major 2nd
- 3 half steps: minor 3rd
- 4 half steps: major 3rd
- 5 half steps: perfect 4th
- 6 half steps: augmented 4th or diminished 5th (also known as tritone)
- 7 half steps: perfect 5th
- 8 half steps: minor 6th
- 9 half steps: major 6th
- 10 half steps: minor 7th
- 11 half steps: major 7th
- 12 half steps: perfect 8th or octave
In the given question, if the two notes in the interval are played simultaneously, it refers to a harmonic interval.
