- 1. the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample: "an increase in the frequency of accidents due to increased overtime"
- 2. the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second: "different thicknesses of glass will absorb different frequencies of sound"

Frequency (symbol f ), most often measured in hertz (symbol: Hz), is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. [1] It is also occasionally referred to as temporal frequency for clarity and to distinguish it from spatial frequency.
frequency, in physics, the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time; also, the number of cycles or vibrations undergone during one unit of time by a body in periodic motion.
frequency. In physics, the number of crests of a wave that move past a given point in a given unit of time. The most common unit of frequency is the hertz ( Hz ), corresponding to one crest per second. The frequency of a wave can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave by the wavelength.
the number of times something happens within a particular period, or the fact of something happening often or a large number of times: Once a week is a good frequency to back up all the data. the frequency of sth Cost-conscious retailers are reducing the frequency of cash collections.
frequency. ( ˈfriːkwənsɪ) n, pl-cies. 1. the state of being frequent; frequent occurrence. 2. the number of times that an event occurs within a given period; rate of recurrence. 3. (Mathematics) physics the number of times that a periodic function or vibration repeats itself in a specified time, often 1 second.
frequency. noun. /ˈfriːkwənsi/. /ˈfriːkwənsi/. (plural frequencies) [uncountable, countable] the rate at which something happens or is repeated. Fatal road accidents have decreased in frequency over recent years. Dawn was then visiting New York with increasing frequency.
