Listmates:

Once upon a time in my checkered past, I was a Physics teacher. My
recollection (although I've had no need to use the information in years)
is that middle C is 256 Hz., A above is 440 Hz., and C above middle C is
512 Hz. Each octave doubles or halves the frequency, depending upon which
way you're going.
