The twelfth root of two or 2 12 {\displaystyle {\sqrt[{12}]{2}}} (or equivalently 2 1 / 12 {\displaystyle 2^{1/12}} ) is an algebraic irrational number approximately equal to 1.0594631. It is important in Western music theory, where it represents the frequency ratio (musical interval) of a semitone () in 12-tone equal temperament.
