\n" ); document.write( "The \"rate of vibration\" is very bad term.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is NEVER used. Let me tell you (under the secret) that such a term DOES NOT EXIST.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The number of oscillations per second is FREQUENCY.\r
