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.
This period is the reciprocal of the frequency. This is written as: T = 1/f. where T is the period and f is the frequency. The SI unit for frequency is the hertz (Hz), which is equal to 1/s, or once per second. Frequency is encountered many times in physics. A few highly important instances are listed here. All waves in physics are said to have frequency.
