Word Origin for frequency
C16: from Latin frequentia a large gathering, from frequēns numerous, crowded
In physics, the number of crests of a wave that move past a given point in a given unit of time. The most common unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz), corresponding to one crest per second. The frequency of a wave can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave by the wavelength. Thus, in the electromagnetic spectrum, the wavelengths decrease as the frequencies increase, and vice versa.
PhysicsThe rate at which a repeating event occurs, such as the full cycle of a wave. Frequencies are usually measured in hertz. Compare amplitude. See also period.
MathematicsThe ratio of the number of occurrences of some event to the number of opportunities for its occurrence.
