B)measured in cycles per second.
C)measured in hertz (Hz).
D)equal to the speed of the wave divided by the wavelength of the wave.
E)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices are correct. The frequency of a wave is indeed the number of peaks passing by any point each second, measured in cycles per second or hertz (Hz), and is equal to the speed of the wave divided by the wavelength of the wave. Therefore, the best choice is E.
