Frequency.

Ella knew the word. It was the amount of times something happened, yeah? In music, she was pretty sure it had to do with some kind of vibration or something. "I believe frequency is measured in something called Hertz, Professor. And...it has to do with the number of times something occurs in a certain amount of time." Did that make sense?

Also, he knew this because he played a little bit of guitar and had recorded some stuff personally at home. He gave Ella a smirk as she gave her answer and nodded. Ellaphant was a smart cookie...She could stay.

"The hertz...like Ella said. They also used to be called 'cycles per second'. It's just something that counts time.....For example, 1 hertz (hz) would be an sound or event repeated once every second."

Very slowly, she stuck her tongue out and took a lick of the ice-cream on her parchment. It was just as she thought. Nothing but paper. How VERY disappointing.

Now the Professor had her full and undivided attention again. Unfortunately she tuned back in in time to hear nothing but another question and further continuation of an ice-cream-less class. In future, she would bring her own bowl with her to class. Yup definitely. As for the question. Er...everyone else had answered and they were all saying the same thing. Was she meant to simply repeat it for the sake of having the Professor know she was listening...? Or...could she just sit and stare at her 'til class was done...?

"Like the others said, it's measured in hertz," Uh-huh, she was paying attention, she deserved a chocolate frog in her ice-cream, "and it records the number of times something happens in a given time frame." Or soooomething like that.

Could she lick her sticker again? It was probably melting.

"I always thought that frequency meant how often something happens, and that frequency is also something to do with radios and stuff, like... you tune into a different frequency. I only really just considered this but... like... they're the same thing? So like is a radio frequency where it's at a particular... err... hertz, is it? And like that other girl said, all radio stations could have their own hertz number, so it's like a phone number that you call, or rather that you tune in to to get the right station... and that could be how radio works? Maybe? I mean... that could be with muggle stuff anyway. I don't know about wizard radios..."

He'd gone off topic from music but it still was kind of related, right? He'd only just considered it... like he'd never even thought that that is what frequency could mean, so maybe he was just rambling. As others spoke Tobias glanced out of the window. He could really do with some sugar.

Seriously there was word of ice cream and then a bunch of babbling, then this horrible horrible drawing She hated drawing with a passion, she wasn't good at it. So she just did whatever to get it done. Still looking at her drawing she heard voices and looked up. When had they moved on. She didn't miss the ice cream did she. Oh wait she wasn't suppose to be eating it anymore. She promised Ethan she would try not to eat it, but it was so good how could she not eat it.

Now wait how many questions had she missed, she felt so lost, what were they talking about again. She nodded and put her hand up, "Like everyone else said professor Hertz. " Whatever that was suppose to mean. "Wouldn't it be more fun to measure things in like spoons or ice cream cones." Did she just say that out loud.. But oh well it would be more fun, plus they could eat the ice cream before the measured.

Yay Arithmancy.

And teeth.

"Hertz, as most of us said, and frequency is the occurence of repeatation of an event per unit time"
" maybe unit time is 1 second "
She added slowly.

Sarah had recently started to reach herself Latin, as it would help with understanding scientific words as well as spells. This was coming in handy now. well, tessella means the piece of clay or glass used in mosiacs, tessella itself means small square.

Ohh.. Sarah remembered learning this from the physics... She raised her hands, "It is measured in Hertz, or its varience like megahertz. Hertz was a German. Frequency means the amount of times that went on in a time frame, for example if the frequency is 10 Hertz, then it means that the event repeats itself 10 times per second." Sarah loved physics and could talk about it for ever. She knew a bit of formulaes too.

Music, thats what really peeked her attention because she quite liked music considering she was a dancer. As for frequency she knew how it worked, she'd learned before at her muggle school, plus knew quite a lot about music, therefore she could answer except others beat her to it.

"Um..what most people said, Professor. " she said after raising her hand. "It's used a lot in science and can be used for light, sound and lot's of things, really." Seemed good enough? Because she didn't feel like parroting the others as to what it was and what it was measured in.
