Question

Frequency corresponds to what in a light wave?

Answer 1

Frequency corresponds to the number of oscillations or cycles of a wave that occur in a given unit of time. In the case of a light wave, frequency corresponds to the number of oscillations of the electromagnetic field per second, measured in hertz (Hz). It is related to the color or hue of the light wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to shorter wavelengths and light waves in the visible spectrum appearing as different colors.
