高い周波数の音は年を取ると聞こえにくくなる。
High-frequency sounds become harder to hear as you get older.
電子レンジは2.4ギガヘルツの周波数の電磁波を使って食品を温める。
Microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves at a frequency of 2.4 gigahertz to heat food.
A technical term from physics referring to the number of cycles a wave completes per unit of time, measured in hertz (Hz). Commonly encountered in contexts related to radio, sound, electronics, and telecommunications.
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- 周波数帯: frequency band
- 周波数を合わせる: to tune to a frequency
- 高周波: high frequency
- 低周波: low frequency
- 周波数変換: frequency conversion
SIMILAR WORDS:
- 頻度: frequency — refers to how often something occurs, not wave cycles
- 振動数: vibration frequency — more specific to mechanical oscillations
- 波長: wavelength — the inverse concept, measuring distance between wave peaks
