electromagnetic frequency

Electromagnetic frequency refers to how many wave cycles pass a specific point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz). It’s a way to describe different types of electromagnetic radiation, from radio waves to visible light to X-rays. Higher frequencies have more wave cycles per second and typically carry more energy, while lower frequencies have fewer cycles and less energy. Think of it as the speed of the wave pattern. Different frequencies interact with matter in unique ways, which is why some waves can carry signals, others can see images, and some can heal or harm tissues.
