Homonym: intervals (Periods)
An interval is a range of values or time between two points. For example, in music, an interval refers to the distance between two notes, like the difference in pitch between C and E. In mathematics, an interval can represent a set of numbers, such as all the numbers between 1 and 5, including 1 and 5 themselves.
Intervals are also used in everyday life, like when we measure time. If you say you will meet someone in a 30-minute interval, it means you will be available anytime within that 30 minutes. Understanding intervals helps us organize and quantify various aspects of our lives.
