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.)

The unit of frequency is reciprocal time ... "per second", or Hertz.


What is meant by the frequency or a wave?

The frequency of a wave refers to the number of complete oscillations it makes in a given unit of time, typically measured in hertz (Hz). It represents how many times a wave cycle repeats within a specific time frame.

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?

No, the frequency of a sound wave is the number of wave cycles that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz. It represents how many times a sound wave repeats in a specific period of time, not the amount of energy passing through a unit area in a unit of time.


When frequency of a wave increases what else increases?

The hertz is the unit of measurement for which of these? z

Do the two terms wave speed and wave frequency refer to the same thing?

No, wave speed and wave frequency are not the same thing. Wave speed refers to how fast a wave travels through a medium, while wave frequency is the number of oscillations or cycles of a wave that occur per unit of time.
