Vibration is the frequency of the wave.
The frequency of a wave is always equal to the rate of vibration of the source that creates it
Frequencies are measured in hertz. 1 Hz = 1 vibration (or cycle) per second.

Vibration is the frequency of the wave.
Short wave frequency has a shorter wave length. Frequency is defined as number of cycles per second. If you have shorter waves (measure from peak to peak) you can get more of these packed into one second, so the frequency is higher.

The fundamental frequency is the lowest mode of vibration of a system. If you think of a taut string, the lowest mode with which it can vibrate is the one where the centre of the string travels the maximum distance up and down so the string forms a single arc. It is also possible for it to vibrate so that two arcs (one up and one down) fit into the string, and there are many more possibilities with higher frequencies. On a stringed instrument you can hear the fundamental frequency as the normal note which the string plays, and the others as overtones. Other systems exhibit the same phenomenon.
Light, being a vibrating electro-magnetic wave, has a frequency of vibration.
The period of a wave is defined as the time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation. While, the frequency of a wave is defined as the number of oscillations completed by a wave in one second.
The ripple frequency of a half-wave rectifier is the same as the input frequency.
