1. Frequency refers to how many waves are made per time interval
2. Hertz or cycles per second
3. Taking a stab at this one... Higher the Frequuency shorter the wave length.
All this from an MBA not a science person at all

1. Wave length passing a point per second
2. hz
2. The wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength. That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave.
The equation that relates wavelength and frequency for electromagnetic waves is: λν=c where λ is the wavelength, ν is the frequency and c is the speed of light.

The frequency of waves means their size in relation to their energy - the smaller the wave is, the more concentrated the energy in it will be, and therefore, you will attain a higher frequency; frequency is the pitch, in simple terms. And the higher the frequency, the faster the wave travels.
The units of frequency are based on the Hertz unit. There are many prefixes, such as "kilo," "giga," etc.
The most basic explanation of the relationship between frequency and wavelength is that as wavelength decreases, frequency increases.
Hope this helped!

The frequency of wave is the number of "beats" per second, or the number of peaks that pass a given point in one second. The unit of frequency it the Hertz, or one "cycle per second" or one "beat per second" or one "any characteristic of the wave" per second. The dimension ot this unit are reciprocal seconds (sec^-1).
The wavelength is the distance between equivalent peaks of the wave. If the wave is travelling at a velocity v, the relationship between frequency and wavelength v = wavelength * frequency.

Pathetic.
Through your gramatical and spelling errors, it is evident that you are asking for someone to do your homework for you.
Do it yourself. These are trivial questions. If you are stumped already, then tell your teacher that you are not up to the material. Ask to be transferred to a pottery class.

No, I can't answer it with all the grammar and spelling mistakes.
