Frequency is the inverse of time. In music, specifically it refers to the number of oscillations per unit of time of a vibrating object. Frequency is typically measured in hertz (Hz), defined as one oscillation per second.
A sound's pitch is associated with the fundamental frequency of its frequency spectrum.
