== Frequency speaks to the number of oscillations per unit of time. Oscillations or cycles per unit of time is a concept applied to some kind of repeating or harmonic motion or wave, and it could be mechanical (sound) or electromagnetic (light). When we consider the frequency of these oscillations, we see the frequency as the number of cycles per second that the oscillation makes. And cycles per second is what is called Hertz, after Heinrich Hertz, an early investigator. (One cycle per second is one Hertz.) A link can be found below.

The number of cycles per second is called?
Frequency, which is measured in Hertz (Hz)
How does the frequency measured in front of the source appear to the observer compared to the frequency measured from behind?
The frequencies are the same, unless the source is moving relative to the observer.
Which of the following is the correct unit of frequency?
Frequency is measured in Hertz. Its symbol is Hz.
What is is a measure of sound frequency that determines how high or low a pitch is?
it is measured in hertz
What is the unit of frequency measured in cycles per second?
Frequency is no longer measured in cycles per second. It is now measured using the unit 'hertz' (abbreviation Hz). However, one hertz is exactly the same thing as one cycle per second.
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
What unit is sound frequency measured in?
Frequency is measured in hertz. Cycles per second.
What is frequency of wave measured in?
It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
What is measured on hertz?
Frequency
What are the variables on a sound spectrogram and how are they measured?
A sound spectrogram measures the frequency and wavelengths of sound waves. The frequency is measured in Hertz and the wavelengths are measured in meters.
Indicate the frequency level of a sound?
Frequency is usually not measured in "levels" (though the sound pressure or volume is) Frequency is measured in Hz (Hertz) or vibrations per second. Sound pressure is measured in Decibels
What is frequency physics?
The Study of Frequency Waves. Types, how they are measured, etc...?
What it means for a wave to have a frequency of hertz?
hertz is what frequency waves are measured in.
What does the frequency of sound measure?
The frequency of sound is measured in "Hertz (Hz)".
Any sound with a frequency above the range humans can hear is called?
There is no such thing as a "frequency above hertz". Whatever the frequency, it will always be measured in Hertz.There is no such thing as a "frequency above hertz". Whatever the frequency, it will always be measured in Hertz.There is no such thing as a "frequency above hertz".

Measured in vibrations per second?
frequency
How do frequency measured?
hertz or cp-1
