Answer:

A wave with a frequency of 60 hertz will have 60 successive wave crests occurring every second

Step-by-step explanation:

A crest is the highest point the medium rises to in a wave. That means that the crest is a point on the wave where the displacement is at a maximum.

Frequency is the number of oscillations of a wave in one second. Hence, frequency of a wave is the number of successive crests occurring in a second.

Therefore a wave with a frequency of 60 hertz will have 60 successive wave crests occurring every second.
