Hertz means cycles per second. That is its' frequency.


Why does a wave have a frequency of one hertz?

A wave can have any frequency, not just one Hertz.


What has the lowest frequency short wave or long wave radio?

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.
