Hi All,

A4 10 cents pitch rise is  440 to 442.5488940698554 = +2.5488940698554 hertz
A4 10 cents pitch lower is 440 to 437.46578647972086 = -2.53421352027914 hertz

frequency = velocity / wavelength

(I had forgotten this *blush*)

At 20 degrees C the speed of sound is approximately 344 meters per second.

If anyone wants to "play" more with these numbers here is a nice little
conversion page.
