The quotient of the number of times n a periodic phenomenon occurs over the time t in which it occurs: f = n / t
The number of times a wave completes its cycle per unit of time The frequency of a soundwave determines the pitch Usually, frequency is measured in Hz which is the number of cycles (undulations) of the wave per second Click here for a picture of a wave cycle
the number of wave oscillations per unit time or the number of wavelengths that pass a point per unit time
In physics, the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a specific unit time; also the number of cycles or vibrations undergone during one unit of time by a body in periodic motion (As simple as it gets!)
{i} quality of occurring frequently or regularly; rate at which a function reoccurs; number of occurrences within a given period of time; number of wave cycles within a given period of time (i.e. the frequency of a radio wave)
The number of times an electromagnetic signal repeats an identical cycle in a unit of time, usually one second One Hertz (Hz) is one cycle per second A kHz (Kilohertz) is one thousand cycles per second; a MHz (Megahertz) is one million cycles per second; a gHz (Gigahertz) is one billion cycles per second
the number of occurrences within a given time period (usually 1 second); "the frequency of modulation was 40 cycles per second"
The number of oscillations of a signal per unit of time: usually expressed in cycles per second (cps) or hertz (Hz)
The number of complete oscillations (cycles) that an electromagnetic wave makes in a second, usually expressed in hertz; or the number of sound waves per second produced by a sounding body
The number of repetitions per unit time of the oscillations of an electromagnetic wave (or other wave) The higher the frequency, the greater the energy of the radiation and the smaller the wavelength Frequency is measured in Hertz
Simply the number of events or cycles that occur in a time period, usually one second Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), which are the number of cycles per second (e g , Humans can experience sound from 20 Hz to over 20,000 Hz )
The number of times something happens in a certain period of time, such as the ground shaking up and down or back and forth during an earthquake
