Answer: Wave frequency can be measured by counting the number of crests (high points) of waves that pass the fixed point in 1 second or some other time period. The higher the number is, the greater the frequency of the waves. The SI unit for wave frequency is the hertz ( Hz ), where 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second.
