Answer: hertz

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength is also measured in metres ( ) - it is a length after all. The frequency ( ) of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz ( ), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.

Answer:

The number of waves that pass a particular point in a unit of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of a wave describes the number of waves that pass a particular point in a unit of time. The frequency is inversely proportional to the period of the wave, which is the time required for one full wave cycle to complete.
