Here's why:
* Frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.
* Higher frequency means more cycles pass by per second, indicating a faster occurrence.
* Lower frequency means fewer cycles pass by per second, indicating a slower occurrence.
Think of it like this: Imagine a swinging pendulum. If it swings back and forth quickly, it has a high frequency. If it swings slowly, it has a low frequency.
