  • Wave Frequency: Understanding Cycles Per Second - Definition & Measurement
    The number of complete movements a wave makes per second is called its frequency.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Wave: A disturbance that travels through a medium or space, transferring energy without transferring matter.

    * Complete movement: One full cycle of the wave, which includes a crest (highest point) and a trough (lowest point).

    * Frequency: The number of wave cycles that pass a given point in one second.

    Frequency is typically measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz represents one complete cycle per second.
