No. Frequency is the number of times something happens, per unit time.

If nothing happens, the frequency is zero.

We cannot have a negative number of things happening.

Well you can say that the frequency of DC is constant or not?

Yes it is constant at Zero Frequency. No, DC or Direct Current only means that the current only goes one direction, but it can have a frequency. You can have a square wave, sawtooth wave or sine wave that never goes from positive to negative or negative to positive and it would be a direct current with a frequency.


If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?

The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.


What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?

velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.


What is the quantitative relationship between frequency and wavelength?

speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength


How does frequency of a wave compare with the frequency of the source?

The frequency of a radio wave compares to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it because the frequency of a radio wave is proportional to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it.


The number of complete waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time is a wave's?

This is known as the frequency of the wave.


What is the frequency of a wave measured by?

The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.


What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?

Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed


Formula for frequency of a wave?

frequency = (wave speed)/(wavelength) frequency = 1/(period)


How does the the frequency of a reflected wave compared to the frequency of a incoming wave?

It is double of the incoming wave.


What is determine by wave frequency?

The wave length w=v/frequency.


Is ultrasonic wave radio frequency?
