Transverse Waves in Action!

Frequency is how many times a crest (or compression) passes a certain point in a given time.
It is usually measured in Hertz (Hz), which is the same as "number of waves per second."
Watch the 6 second .gif. How many times does the short wavelength wave go by? What about the long wavelength?
How many waves per second is that? (Number of waves divided by time = Frequency)
