The term frequency in physics refers to the number of waves that pass through a particular place in a given amount of time. It also refers to the number of cycles or vibrations a body in periodic motion goes through in one unit of time.

The frequency of vibration determines the pitch of the sound. The sound becomes shriller as the frequency rises, and vice versa.
