    Frequency
In summary, Frequency is a measure of how often something happens over a certain period of time. Waves can have different shapes and not all waves travel in the same way as the waves produced when a stone is dropped on water. Whether or not you can see or hear a modified wave depends on how it is being modified.

I am just a toddler. Please explain me about frequency. What shapes do waves have? Do all waves travel like the waves produced, when a stone is dropped on water? And when the frequency of a signal is varied and if the new frequency is in the visible region or audible range, Can i see or hear it?

Take a look at these links.

And when the frequency of a signal is varied and if the new frequency is in the visible region or audible range, Can i see or hear it?

I guess it depends on how you are modifying the wave. I've never heard of anything directly modifying waves before. Usually something measures the incoming wave and the emits a new one at a new frequency if need be.
 

What is frequency?

Frequency refers to the number of times a repeating event occurs in a given unit of time. In the context of sound, it is the number of vibrations or cycles per second that create the sound wave.

What is the audible range of frequency for toddlers?

The audible range of frequency for toddlers is typically between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This means that toddlers can hear sounds within this frequency range, but their ability to hear higher frequencies may decrease with age.

What is the visible range of frequency for toddlers?

The visible range of frequency for toddlers is typically between 400 trillion Hz to 750 trillion Hz. This range falls within the spectrum of visible light, which is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see.

How does frequency affect a toddler's hearing and vision development?

Frequencies within the audible and visible ranges play a crucial role in a toddler's hearing and vision development. Exposure to a variety of sounds and colors can help stimulate and strengthen their sensory systems, aiding in their overall development.

How can parents help their toddlers understand frequency?

Parents can help their toddlers understand frequency by engaging in activities that involve different frequencies, such as listening to music, playing with musical instruments, and exploring colorful objects. They can also explain the concept of frequency in simple terms and introduce new sounds and colors to their toddlers regularly.
