Frequency. The reciprocal of time is 1/time. In waves, 1/seconds=frequency.

When the unit of an entity is s^(-1), it refers to the number of something per second.
If the something is waves, then the reciprocal of time is frequency, whose units can also be written as Hz (Hertz).

guessing 1/time ???
btw: I thought frequency= number of events(waves)/ time (sec)
but according to Scientific American.
Frequency is defined as the reciprocal of time...
according to PhysicsClassroom.com..
" ... Mathematically, the period is the reciprocal of the frequency and vice versa."
