Frequency refers to the number of cycles or oscillations of a wave that occur in one second. It is measured in hertz (Hz).
congrats on reading the definition of Frequency. now let's actually learn it.
Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive points on a wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.
Period: The time it takes for one complete cycle or oscillation of a wave to occur.
Amplitude: The maximum displacement or height of a wave from its equilibrium position.
