The frequency of a wave is the number of complete waves that pass a fixed point
in one second.
The unit is "Hertz" or "Cycles". The dimension is "per second". (Reciprocal time.)

Is frequency of a sound wave defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time?
The _______ of a sound wave is defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time. Correct answer=frequency
Which is the term for the unit that measures wave frequency?
The unit of frequency is reciprocal time ... "per second", or Hertz.
The unit in which wave frequency is measured?
Hertz (Hz)
What unit is used to express the frequency of a wave?
hertz
How can you derive the unit of frequency from basic units?
If the wave speed is measured in m/s, the wave length is measured in m, and the wave speed divided by the wave length = the frequency, then: m/s / m = 1/s thus the unit of frequency is 1/s or s^-1

The unit of a frequency wave?
Hz (hertz)
Which is the term for the unit that measures wave frequency?
The unit of frequency is reciprocal time ... "per second", or Hertz.
What is it meant by the frequency of a wave?
If "troth - peak - troth" is considered as one "cycle" then the number of cycles that occur (go past you) in a unit of time [usually minutes or seconds] is called the "frequency".
Is the number of wave per unit of time?
Frequency.
The unit in which wave frequency is measured?
Hertz (Hz)

What is waves frequency?
Frequencyis the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time
WHAT of a sound wave is defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time?
frequency
Hertz Hz is the unit used to measure a wave's?
Hertz means cycles per second. That is its' frequency.
What are the number of complete wave length per unit of times is called?
That's the "frequency" of the wave.
