Best Answer

Frequency can be applied to any kind of motion that is repetitive. It answers the question; "how frequent does the cycle repeat itself?" Then it is expressed by counting how often the motion repeats in a certain amount of time and dividing that count by the time. For example if 12 complete waves (or cycles) pass a point in 6 seconds then the frequency is 12/6 = 2 cycles/sec. The unit of 1 cycle/sec is called a Hertz so the frequency would also be expressed as 2 Hertz or 2 Hz.

How do you convert frequency to hurtz?

Frequency is expressed in cycles per second, which is the same as Hertz. Frequency can also be expressed in kilohertz, megahertz, or gigahertz. So an AM radio station might be 700 KHz, an FM station might be 88.1 MHz, and a microwave might be 2.4 GHz.

What is a difference between frequency and angular frequency?

Frequency is a metric for expressing the rate of oscillation in a wave. For planar and longitudinal waves, this often expressed in oscillations-per-second or Hz. Angular frequency used for expressing rates of rotation, similar to revolutions-per-second, and is usually expressed in radians-per-second. It can be thought of as a wave with a constant amplitude where the amplitude rotates in a circle in space. The two differ by factor of 2*Pi. Omega (angular frequency) = 2*Pi*f(frequency in Hz)
