2. In engineering and physics, the frequency of an oscillating or time-varying signal that is deliberately introduced into a system for testing, operation, or analysis purposes
Engineers tested the bridge's resonance by varying the applied frequency from 1 to 10 Hz.
Os engenheiros testaram a ressonância da ponte variando a frequência aplicada de 1 a 10 Hz.
This is a specialized technical term primarily used in engineering, physics, and electrical fields. It is equally recognized in both Brazilian and American technical communities. The term is fundamental in power systems (where 60 Hz is standard in the Americas and 50 Hz in Europe/Brazil's context), telecommunications, and mechanical vibration analysis.
