To calculate frequency, divide the number of times the event occurs by the length of time. Example: Anna divides the number of website clicks (236) by the length of time (one hour, or 60 minutes). She finds that she receives 3.9 clicks per minute.

What is frequency and how is it calculated?

Frequency is the number of completed wave cycles per second.

In other words, frequency tells us how many wave crests pass a given point in a second. This frequency definition leads us to the simplest frequency formula: f = 1 / T .

How do I find the frequency of a wave?

Wave frequency can be measured by counting the number of crests or compressions that pass the point in 1 second or other time period. The higher the number is, the greater is the frequency of the wave. The SI unit for wave frequency is the hertz (Hz), where 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second.
