directions: sort the statement as a true or false declaration about wave properties.

the more cycles a wave completes in one second, the lower the waves frequency
true statement false statement
Step1: Recall Frequency Definition
Frequency ($f$) is defined as the number of cycles a wave completes in one second, with the unit hertz (Hz, where 1 Hz = 1 cycle/second).
Step2: Analyze the Statement
The statement says "The more cycles a wave completes in one second, the lower the wave’s frequency". But by definition, more cycles per second mean a higher frequency (e.g., 10 cycles/second is 10 Hz, 20 cycles/second is 20 Hz, so more cycles → higher frequency). Thus, the statement is false.
