Answer:

Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time. The SI unit for wave frequency is the hertz (Hz), where 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second. A higher-frequency wave has more energy than a lower-frequency wave with the same amplitude

Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass any point in a given amount of time. you can place the point anywhere, you just have to count how many waves pass that point in a amount of time. The picture above shows. the bottom wave shows low frequency, the top represents high frequency.
