Newlands' Law Of Octaves (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti)

INFORMATION:-
The English scientist John Newlands correlated the atomic masses of elements to their properties in a different 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 eight 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 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.
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' 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 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 use of variety in the use of these notes.
