Advantages of frequency in Electric Tasmittion

[Nazz_Designs]

hey,

as you know several countries have different voltages which they give to a normal household. Ie in our country Malta is 240Volts and in USA around 110Volts.

I also read that they have different frequencies. (e.g. Malta =50Hz and USA=60Hz)

Could anyone state advantages or disadvantages
at having certain frequencies?
