What is Frequency in Waves?

Frequency is the number of oscillations or cycles of a waveform per unit time. It is measured in hertz (Hz) and represents how many times the waveform repeats itself in a given time period.

For example, if a waveform has a frequency of 100 Hz, it means that the waveform completes 100 cycles in one second. Similarly, if the frequency is 1000 Hz, the waveform completes 1000 cycles in one second.

Frequency is an important characteristic of waves, and it determines many of the properties of a wave, such as its period, wavelength, and amplitude. It also plays a key role in many fields, including music, radio broadcasting, and medical imaging.
