These exceptions include: 1  If a car behind you rear-ended your vehicle and pushed you into the back of another car. 2  Driver negligence, such as a car parked, broken down, or stopped with no warning lights. 3  A driver impaired by alcohol.
In mathematical terms, the frequency is the number of complete vibrational cycles of a medium per a given amount of time. Given this definition, it is reasonable that the quantity frequency would have units of cycles/second, waves/second, vibrations/second, or something/second. Another unit for frequency is the Hertz (abbreviated Hz) where 1 Hz is equivalent to 1 cycle/second.
2) Î½ is the Greek letter nu. It is NOT the letter v, it is the Greek letter nu. It stands for the frequency of the light wave. Frequency is defined as the number of wave cycles passing a fixed reference point in one second. When studying light, the unit for frequency is called the Hertz (its symbol is Hz). One Hertz is when one complete cycle passes the fixed point in one second, so a million Hz is when a million cycles pass the fixed point in one second. There is an important point to make about the unit on Hz.
