== 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.
