Which best describes the relationship between the terms “frequency,” “wavelength,” and “hertz”?

Frequency describes how many wave cycles pass a point each second; it can also be understood as the number of wavelengths passing per second. Hertz (Hz) is the unit of frequency, meaning cycles per second. Wavelength is the distance covered by one cycle, so it is not a count of frequencies.
