D. The distance from one peak to the next peak

Respuesta :

Taking into account the definition of frecuency, the statement "The number of waves that pass a point in 1 second" describes the frequency of a wave.

Definition of frequency

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

In other words, the frequency in wave phenomena, such as sound, electromagnetic waves (such as radio or light), electrical signals or other waves, expresses the number of times the phenomenon is repeated per unit of time. For example, if a wave repeats ten times per second, it means that it has a frequency of ten cycles per second.

Summary

Finally, the statement "The number of waves that pass a point in 1 second" describes the frequency of a wave.
