ANSWER
No. A DMM has a rated frequency.
Some DMMs are "true RMS" meters, which either means (a) they digitally sample the waveform at some relatively high frequency and perform the necessary math internally, or (b) they accomplish the same thing using an analog circuit. In either case, there is a maximum frequency they can accurately measure, because of the sample rate or because of the filter frequencies in the analog circuit. Typical meters can range from 1 kHz up to around 20 kHz.
Other DMMs do not make true RMS measurements. These make the assumption that the waveform is sinusoidal, so they merely rectify and filter the signal and then apply a scaling factor. The filters limit the applicable frequencies. These are often either very inexpensive meters, or are built specifically for AC power line measurements.
At some point, it's better to perform the measurement using an oscilloscope (with a high enough bandwidth).
It's not always easy to find the frequency rating for a digital multimeter. Not all manufacturers include it in the specifications.

What is the maximum frequency Escort multimeter EDM169 can measure?
1MHz
What are the types of multi tester?
A Multimeter is an electronic instrument, every electronic technician and engineer’s widely used piece of test equipment. A multimeter is mainly used to measure the three basic electrical characteristics of voltage, current, and resistance. There are two types of multimeters: Analog Multimeter: The Analog Multimeter or VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter) is constructed using a moving coil meter and a pointer to indicate the reading on the scale. Digital Multimeter: We mostly used a multimeter is a digital multimeter (DMM). The DMM performs all functions from AC to DC other than analog. It has two probes positive and negative indicated with black and red color as shown in the figure. there are some best multimeters for HVAC.
Multimeter that can measure inductance capacitance frequency voltage current and resistance in one system?
Many mutlimeters have this capability. You'll probably want a digital multimeter. If you do a good search, this should be easy to find. You'll need to read through the specifications carefully to make sure you find one that gives the level of accuracy you're looking for. the more accurate it is, the more you'll pay.
What is better a digital multimeter or a volt ohm meter?
'Multimeter' and a 'VOM meter' are different terms for exactly the same thing -a meter that can be used to measure voltage, current, and resistance. These meters can be either analogue or digital. Analogue instruments are now being priced out of the market by digital meters, due to the manufacturing costs of analogue instruments. Digital meters are more rugged and easier to read than analogue instruments, but not necessarily more accurate.
How is an multimeter connected to take a measure?
Multimetres are generaly used to measure the following quantities. Voltage: multimeter is connected in parallel with the Load; Current: multimeter is connected in series with Load; Resistance: the resistor must be taken out of the circuit first, then, the probes from the multimeter are connected across the resistor,
What does amplitude measure?
Sound energy travels in waves and is measured in frequency and amplitude
What is the maximum frequency Escort multimeter EDM169 can measure?
1MHz
How do we measure pitch and volume?
We measure pitch with frequency and volume with amplitude.
Three characteristics of a wave that you can measure?
wavelength, amplitude, and frequency
What are three test that the digital multimeter is used for?
To measure voltage, current and resistance.
What is measure of sound?
If you measure amplitude, then it's decibels (dB). If you measure frequency, then it's Hertz (Hz).
How is 60hz in decibel?
Hz is a measure of frequency. Decibel is a measure of loudness/volume/amplitude. The two can not be equated.
How could you measure the ripple frequency?
With either a digital frequency meter or an oscilloscope.

What instrument measures the amplitude of sound on a mobile?
A frequency meter is the instrument that is used to measure the amplitude of sound. It reads the energy from a sound wave.
Measure a CW tone at 1 GHz with an amplitude of -70dBm?
71
What happens to the distance between the crests when the amplitude is increased?
Nothing happens. Distance between crests is a measure of frequency; amplitude is a measure of the strength, the height of the wave, or auditory volume of the signal.
