Question

who attempted to link periodicity of the chemecal properties of elements to the periodicity in the musical notes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Newland

Explanation:

these mistake might have resulted from meal and attempt to link the periodicity of the element with that which accuse in music

Answer 2

Answer:

John Newlands

Explanation:

The English scientist John Newlands

correlated the atomic masses of elements

to their properties in a diffrent way. In the

year 1866 Newlands arranged the elements

known at that time in an increasing order

of their atomic masses. It started with the

lightest element hydrogen and ended up

with thorium. He found that every eighth

element had properties similar to those of

the first. For example, sodium is the eighth

element from lithium and both have similar

properties. Also, magnesium shows

similarity to beryllium and chlorine shows

similarity with fluorine. Newlands

compared this similarity with the octaves

in music. He called the similarity observed

in the eighth and the first element as the

Law of octaves.

Many limitation were found in Newlands’ octaves. This law was found to be applicable

only upto calcium. Newlands fitted all the known elements in a table of 7 X 8 that is 56

boxes. Newlands placed two elements each in some boxes to accommodate all the known

elements in the table. For example, Co and Ni, Ce and La. Moreover, he placed some

elements with different properties under the same note in the octave. For example,

Newlands placed the metals Co and Ni under the note ‘Do’ along with halogens, while Fe,

having similarity with Co and Ni, away from them along with the nonmetals O and S

under the note ‘Ti’. Also, Newlands’ octaves did not have provision to accommodate the

newly discovered elements. The properties of the new elements discovered later on did not

fit in the Newlands’ law of octaves.

In the Indian music system there

are seven main notes, namely, Sa, Re,

Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni, and their collection

is called ‘Saptak’. The frequency of the

notes goes on increasing from ‘Sa’ to

‘Ni’. Then comes, the ‘Sa’ of the upper

‘Saptak’ at the double the frequency of

the original ‘Sa’. It means that notes

repeat after completion of one ‘Saptak’.

The seven notes in the western music

are Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti.

The note ‘Do’ having double the

original frequency comes again at the

eighth place. This is the octave of

western notes. Music is created by the

variety in the use of these notes.
