Final answer:

Frequency is not measured in terms of time, but it is a measure of how many waves pass a point in a second. Frequency and period are related to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency is measured in terms of time rather than distance. B. False

The frequency (f) of a wave is defined as the number of waves that pass a point in a second. It is measured in hertz (Hz) or s-¹. The period of a wave is the time taken for one complete wavelength to pass a point.

Frequency and period are related to each other as the frequency is the reciprocal of the period. A shorter period corresponds to a higher frequency, and a longer period corresponds to a lower frequency.
