Question

What is meant by frequency?

Answer 1

Frequency

1. Frequency definition states that it is the number of complete cycles of waves passing a point in unit time.
2. The SI unit of frequency is Hertz(Hz).
3. The frequency of a sinusoidal wave as the number of complete oscillations made by any wave element per unit of time.
4. Frequency is in periodic motion, it has undergone one cycle after passing through a series of events or positions and returning to its original state.
5. The frequency of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the time period of the wave.
6. The mathematical expression for frequency is:
   $\mathrm{Frequency}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{Time}\mathrm{period}}$
7. The time period of oscillation of a wave is defined as the time taken by any string element to complete an oscillation.
