Answer

Explanation: Step 1The frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles of the wave that occur in a given unit of time. It is usually measured in 'waves per second' or 'Hertz (Hz)'. Step 2The units 'meters per second', 'meters', and 'seconds per wave' are not used to describe frequency. 'Meters per second' is a unit of speed, 'meters' is a unit of length, and 'seconds per wave' is not a standard unit of measurement. Step 3Therefore, the correct measurement for the frequency of a wave is 'five waves per second'. Answer: 'five waves per second'
