Frequency f hertz. Number of cycles of alternating current per second.<br />

Frequency (Angular) ω (omega), radians/second. Angular velocity,<br />

where ω = 2πf.<br />

Frequency, Optimum That frequency which provides the highest signal-tonoise<br />

ratio obtainable for the detection of an individual property such as<br />

conductivity, crack, or inclusion of the test specimen. Each type of defect in a<br />

given material may have its own optimum frequency.<br />

Frequency, Test The number of complete input cycles per unit time of a<br />

periodic quantity such as alternating current. The test frequency is always<br />

considered to be the fundamental whenever harmonics are generated in the<br />

process of testing certain materials such as ferromagnetic materials.<br />

Hysteresis Magnetization curve.<br />
