Question

frequency n.频繁；频率 (1) 那条高速公路上车祸发生得越来越频繁。(2) 事故正在愈加频繁地发生。(3) 他和他们通信，相当频繁。(4) 他变换了无线电传送的频率。(5) 他把无线电调到警方的频率。(6) 音调的高低是由频率决定的。(7) 年龄的大小往往与发病率有关。 You probably know the word frequent, a synonym for often. So, it is tempting to think frequency describes something that happens often. However, this isn't true: frequency describes any rate of time at which something repeats. For example, from Earth, Halley's Comet is visible at a frequency of 76 years — it's not frequent, but it is on schedule.
