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.

What unit is frequency expressed?
Hertz.
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)
What is measured by the number of ticks per second?
The number of cycles per second, or frequency, is expressed in hertz, abbreviated Hz.
What is the definition of percent distribution?
A frequency distribution with the total frequency equated to one hundred and the individual class frequencies expressed in proportion to that figure. :) Im so smart ;) No one better improve this answer.You welcome Person who asked this question.
How the 40 meters wave length is equal to 7 mhz frequency?
It seems you are talking about radio waves. The wavelength (40 m) multiplied by the frequency (7 million / second) must equal the speed of light (300 million meters/second). It seems that in this example numbers, either the wavelength or the frequency, or both, are not expressed with a great accuracy. For example, if 40 meters is exact, the frequency would be close to 7.5 MHz.
