Frequency is measured in hertz. Which option best describes hertz? (1 point)

Question

O the length of a wave over a specified length of time
• the number of vibrations produced per minute
O the distance that one cycle of a wave will travel
• the number of waves that pass a certain point within a certain time

Answer 1

The best option that describes hertz is:

• the number of waves that pass a certain point within a certain time.

Hertz (Hz) is defined as one cycle per second, which directly relates to how many waves pass a particular point in a given time frame (usually measured in seconds).
