define frequency ...
Answers
Explanation:
Frequency describes the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time. ... Usually frequency is measured in the hertz unit, named in honor of the 19th-century German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz. The hertz measurement, abbreviated Hz, is the number of waves that pass by per second.
☛Frequency is defined as number of oscillation of a body in one second/ per second.
- SI unit of frequency is hertz ( Hz )
☛Oscillation:-To and Fro motion of an object or particles about it's mean/ equilibrium position is known as oscillation.
- Rapid oscillation is known as vibration.
☛Wave:-Wave is a disturbance which carries energy from one point to another point.
- Motion of particles and motion of wave are two different.
Characteristics of wave :-
☛ wave length:-Wave length is defined as the distance covered by a wave to complete one oscillation/vibration.
☛Amplitude:- It is defined as the maximum displacement of a body or particle about it's mean position.
☛Time period:- It is defined as the time taken by a body or particle to complete one oscillation.
☛Frequency :-Frequency is defined as number of oscillation of a body in one second.
