A cent is one hundredth of an equal tempered semitone

Evidence

The equal tempered semitone is subdivided into “cents,” where one cent is one hundredth of an equal tempered semitone. The frequency ratio for one cent (c) is therefore: Cents are widely used in discussions of pitch intervals and the results of psychoacoustic experiments involving pitch. — David Howard, Jamie Angus, coustics and Psychoacoustics, 1064

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines the cent unit for measuring pitch intervals.
• corroborated: 4 independent passages support this claim — David Howard, Jamie Angus, coustics and Psychoacoustics, 1064
• XREF: connects to: The cent divides the octave into equal logarithmic frequency steps
