(hemipythagorean) tritone,
perfect four-and-a-halfth
√2/1, the semioctave, is an important radical interval of exactly 600 cents. It appears in hemipyth as one of the generators, alongside √(3/2).
In temperaments
Many temperaments equate a just interval (or more accurately, a pair of just intervals) to the semioctave. The semioctave appears in every even equal temperament.
