Expert Solution
Step 1

1)

Frequency: Number of complete cycles per unit time is termed as frequency.

                  Frequency helps us understand how fast or slow any the oscillation happens.

                  For any Oscillation frequency is given by:

                   f = 1/T                          {T is the time period of oscillation}

 

2)

 Wave:   Wave is a disturbance in the medium, sometimes described by periodic wave equations like...

             y(x,t) = Asin(kx-ωt+ϕ)+C

             Wave is way of energy transportation without transferring the medium.

 

3)

Images:  Image is  visual representation of something by several means an image can be produced...

               by an artist, by optical objects like Mirrors, lenses, shadow imaging etc. 

               for optics Image is a virtual or real representation of of an object placed near the optical devices.
