WHAT DOES FREQUENCY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

frequency

Frequency

Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency, which emphasizes the contrast to spatial frequency and angular frequency. The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency. For example, if a newborn baby's heart beats at a frequency of 120 times a minute, its period – the interval between beats – is half a second (60 seconds (i.e. a minute) divided by 120 beats). In some fields, especially where frequency-domain analysis is used, the concept of frequency is applied only to sinusoidal phenomena, since in linear systems more complex periodic and nonperiodic phonomena are most easily analyzed in terms of sums of sinusoids of different frequencies.

Definition of frequency in the English dictionary

The first definition of frequency in the dictionary is the state of being frequent; frequent occurrence. Other definition of frequency is the number of times that an event occurs within a given period; rate of recurrence. Frequency is also the number of times that a periodic function or vibration repeats itself in a specified time, often 1 second. It is usually measured in hertz ν, f.
