Frequencies, oscillation, electromagnetism, electricity. A short notice te explain the differences. Frequency is the unit of measure: how often something oscillates per second (Hz = cycles/second). "Frequency" alone tells you nothing about the type of energy because what matters is what is oscillating. A muscle at 50 Hz, a sound wave at 50 Hz, and an electromagnetic wave at 50 Hz are different physically. Oscillation is a value that swings back and forth periodically (pressure, voltage, field strength, position). Frequency is simply the rate of oscillation. Oscillation is the umbrella term, not an energy form.
