Frequency (f) — Science definition
Defined in 2 courses:
- The number of waves passing a point each second, measured in hertz (Hz). (Physical Science: Matter, Forces & Energy)
- The number of complete waves passing a point each second, measured in hertz (Hz); the period is its inverse, T = 1/f. (Physics & Environmental Science)
