Understanding Frequency

Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. The SI unit for frequency is the Hertz (Hz), which is equal to one event per second. This unit is commonly used in physics and engineering to describe wave phenomena, such as sound, light, and radio waves. For example, the frequency of your home's AC power supply is typically 50 or 60 Hz, while a modern computer's processor speed is measured in Gigahertz (GHz), representing billions of cycles per second.
