Answer:

Frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of times a wave is occurring is called the frequency of a wave. It is also defined as the number of vibrations or oscillations per unit time. It is represented by f or
\\u (nu).

Its relation with the wavelength and the speed of a wave is given by :


\\u =(v)/(\lambda)

Hence, we can say that the correct option is (B) "frequency"
