Temporal frequency

Temporal frequency refers to how often an event occurs over time. It measures the rate at which changes or cycles happen in a given period, often expressed in cycles per second, known as Hertz (Hz). For example, a sound wave with a high temporal frequency means it produces many waves in a short time, causing a high-pitched sound. In everyday life, it can apply to anything from the frequency of a heartbeat to the rhythm of music. Understanding temporal frequency helps us make sense of patterns in natural phenomena and various forms of media.
