Garrett throws a large rock into a waveless pond. The impact of the rock hitting the water causes waves to travel along the pond's surface toward the shore.

If Garrett counts the number of waves that reach the shore over a 10-second period, what property of the waves is he measuring?

He is measuring the frequency

Garrett is measuring the frequency of the waves, which is the number of waves reaching a point per unit time. Frequency is closely related to the wave's period, and it is measured in hertz (Hz). ;

Garrett is measuring the frequency of the waves that reach the shore over a set time period. Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in a second, measured in hertz (Hz). For instance, if he counts 5 waves in 10 seconds, the frequency would be 0.5 Hz.
