For example 75 Hertz means that there are 75 wave tops per second in for example a radio signal.

'Frequency' is a word that often confuses some people ... for no good reason.
It just means "frequent-ness" or "often-ness" ... how often something happens.

The SI unit of frequency is the Hertz (Hz). Hz means 'per second'.
So " 13 Hz " means 13 per second.

Here are examples of frequency:

-- 780 kilohertz (on your AM radio dial)
-- 98.7 Megahertz (on your FM dial)
-- 5.8 Gigahertz
-- twice a day
-- three per week
-- every 6 months
