    That's utter [censored].

    I can give you lots of frequencies for which you don't know the wavelength.

    1 radian/sec.

    We're speaking about waves here, while 1rad/sec is an angular
    velosity. Sorry, but your examples are completely unrelated to this
    tread.

    The frequency is the same. So the distance between peaks of the wave is less.

    Alternatively again, the wavelength of a train whistle appears the
    same to the engineer and the stationmaster but the pitch is different.

    Excuse me, but this is fundamentally impossible. The distance between
    peaks of the wave and the frequensy are the two parameters of the same
    thing - if you know the frequency, you know the wavelenght, and vice
    versa.

    In the gas flowmeters (and, in our particular case, in wind speed
    meter), the time required for signal to travel from transmitter to the
    receiver is measured, not wavelenght/frequency.

    WBR,

    Someone (not you) is confusing propagation delay with wave
    compression.

    1 radian/sec.

    2 radian/sec.

    3 radian/sec.

    99 radians/sec in r.b.t,
    99 radians/sec
    Slow it down, spin it around,
    98 radians/sec in r.b.t

    Frequency is a unit of measure based on the number of cycles per
    second.

    Well if you want to be pedantic then that's not true.
    Hertz is a unit of frequency based on a one second time base. Frequency can
    be measured in any time base. How frequent something happens can also be
    measured in other units besides time.

    Marty

    Yes Marty, quite correct. However, during the time have have held
    both the FCC GROL and Amateur Extra class licenses, and built all
    those radio stations, all my work was done in the time base of
    seconds. I'm sure somewhere, someone is working with something else.
    Just no one I know in the broadcast world.

    I think you meant "other units besides seconds" since everything is
    based on time. Everything.

    I still disagree.

    A dictionary definition is:

    fre·quen·cy (frkwn-s)
    n. pl. fre·quen·cies
    1.. The property or condition of occurring at frequent intervals.
    http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=frequency

    So it doesn't have to be in units of time, it can be anything that occurs at
    frequent intervals.

    When I swim I measure my stroke frequency in strokes per pool length. Or you
    could have a frequency of beers per packet of crisps!
    Anythings possible.

    I also have a radio license.

    Marty, you are free to disagree that radio frequency is normally
    measured by some factor of Hertz, all you want.
