high-frequency
Many cycles per second
High-frequency describes something occurring often or operating at rapid cycles.
In physics and electronics, high-frequency refers to radio waves, sound waves, or electrical signals with many cycles per second—typically above audible range or in the megahertz band: high-frequency trading, high-frequency radio.
In linguistics, high-frequency words are those appearing most often in speech and text: the, and, is.
