"In music theory, the tritone is strictly defined as a musical interval composed of three adjacent whole tones. For instance, the interval from F up to the B above it (in short, F\u2013B) is a tritone as it can be decomposed into the three adjacent whole tones F\u2013G, G\u2013A, and A\u2013B. According to this definition, within a diatonic scale there is only one tritone for each octave. For instance, the above-mentioned interval F\u2013B is the only tritone which can be formed using the notes of the C major scale."@en . . .
