Question

Can you have half a frequency as in 445.5 Hz?

Answer 1

yea why not??

if three waves are crossing past a point in 2 seconds what happens to the frequency?
frequency is no. of waves crossing a point per second..

so frequency would be 3waves/2 seconds = 1.5 waves/second= 1.5Hz

Answer 2

Yes, of course. Why would the universe know anything about the length of a second?

Answer 3

yea thats one more way to think of it.. 1 second was our definition of time.. ;-)..

Answer 4

Doppler effect might be another illustration of continuously variable frequencies

Answer 5

yea thats just deviating from the topic :P

Answer 6

it would mean 891 complete cycles in 2 seconds

Answer 7

Okay that makes sense. Thank you all so much!
