Frequency is defined as the number of repetitions made in one second.
In case of pendulum the repetition is called oscillation.
In case of a tuning fork, the repetition is known to be vibration.
In case of a wheel, the same repetition is said to be rotation.
In case of planet going around the sun, that one is named as revolution.
So, the number of oscillations, vibrations, rotations, revolutions per second in known as frequency. Thus, as the number has no unit and time has second as unit we get the unit for frequency as second -1

How do you find the period of the frequency?
The period is the reciprocal of the frequency.
How many meters are in MHz?
Those two units are completely unrelated. Meter is a measure of length, Hertz is a unit of frequency (reciprocal of seconds).
Directions are expressed as units of?
Directions are expressed as units of
How are period and frequency related?
I'm pretty sure they're related because the period is the reciprocal of the frequency, and the frequency is the reciprocal of the period...but I'm not sure WHY yet :P hope I could hrlp
What is the reciprocal of 1.74?
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, the reciprocal of 1.74, that is, 87/50, is 50/87.
What are the standard units for frequency?
hertz Hz
What is the reciprocal of frequency?
The reciprocal of frequency is the time period of the wave
What is reciprocal of frequency?
The reciprocal of frequency is the time period of the wave
What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?
Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter". Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".
What are the units which frequancy is measured in?
The physical dimension of frequency is reciprocal time. The unit is "per second", which has the special name of "Hertz".
What value is the reciprocal of frequency?
The period of an electromagnetic wave is the reciprocal of the frequency. The wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.
Which property is expressed in units of hertz?
dynamic frequency, which is cycles per second, or Hertz
What determines the frequency?
frequency arrived at by moment ,and reciprocal
How do you find the period of the frequency?
The period is the reciprocal of the frequency.
What is the reciprocal frequency?
period
What is the difference between capacitor and battery?
CAPACITOR'S REACTANCE CHANGES WITH FREQUENCY WHEREAS A BATTERY'S RESISTANCE IS FIXED. ALSO BATTERY STORES ENERGY AND IS EXPRESSED IN UNITS AS AMPERE-HOURS, WHERE AS CAPACITOR STORES CHARGE AND AND IS EXPRESSED IN UNITS AS MICRO / NANO FARADS
How many meters are in MHz?
Those two units are completely unrelated. Meter is a measure of length, Hertz is a unit of frequency (reciprocal of seconds).
