number of pressure waves that occur in 1 sec
A
frequency
B
pitches
C
hearing
D
drumming
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Recall that the unit for frequency is hertz (Hz), and that 1 Hz is one cycle-or one wave-per second.

Detailed explanation-2: -The SI unit for wave frequency is the hertz (Hz), where 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second.

Detailed explanation-3: -Number of waves produced in one second is called as frequency, i.e. =v ==0. 20m24m/s =120 waves per second.

Detailed explanation-4: -Frequency is the rate at which current changes direction per second. It is measured in hertz (Hz), an international unit of measure where 1 hertz is equal to 1 cycle per second.
