  2. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    Frequency (symbol f), most often measured in hertz (symbol: Hz), is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. [1] It is also occasionally ...

  3. Frequency (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(statistics)

    In statistics, the frequency or absolute frequency of an event is the number of times the observation has occurred/been recorded in an experiment or study. [ 1 ] : 12–19 These frequencies are often depicted graphically or tabular form.

  4. Nyquist frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist_frequency

    Early uses of the term Nyquist frequency, such as those cited above, are all consistent with the definition presented in this article.Some later publications, including some respectable textbooks, call twice the signal bandwidth the Nyquist frequency; [6] [7] this is a distinctly minority usage, and the frequency at twice the signal bandwidth is otherwise commonly referred to as the Nyquist rate.

  5. Wavenumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber

    Diagram illustrating the relationship between the wavenumber and the other properties of harmonic waves. In the physical sciences, the wavenumber (or wave number), also known as repetency, [1] is the spatial frequency of a wave, measured in cycles per unit distance (ordinary wavenumber) or radians per unit distance (angular wavenumber).

  6. Orders of magnitude (frequency) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Orders_of_magnitude_(frequency)

    Acoustic – frequency of G −7, the lowest note sung by the singer with the deepest voice in the world, Tim Storms. His vocal cords vibrate 1 time every 5.29 seconds. 10 0: 1 hertz (Hz) 1 to 1.66 Hz: Approximate frequency of an adult human's resting heart beat: 1 Hz: 60 bpm, common tempo in music 2 Hz: 120 bpm, common tempo in music ~7.83 Hz

  7. Octave band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave_band

    An octave band is a frequency band that spans one octave (Play ⓘ).In this context an octave can be a factor of 2 [1] [full citation needed] or a factor of 10 0.301. [2] [full citation needed] [3] [full citation needed] An octave of 1200 cents in musical pitch (a logarithmic unit) corresponds to a frequency ratio of ⁠ 2 / 1 ⁠ ≈ 10 0.301.

  8. Crystal oscillator frequencies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator_frequencies

    Crystal oscillators can be manufactured for oscillation over a wide range of frequencies, from a few kilohertz up to several hundred megahertz.Many applications call for a crystal oscillator frequency conveniently related to some other desired frequency, so hundreds of standard crystal frequencies are made in large quantities and stocked by electronics distributors.

  9. Nyquist rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist_rate

    When instead, the frequency range is (A, A+B), for some A > B, it is called bandpass, and a common desire (for various reasons) is to convert it to baseband. One way to do that is frequency-mixing the bandpass function down to the frequency range (0, B). One of the possible reasons is to reduce the Nyquist rate for more efficient storage.
