Several types of instruments are used as frequency meters in the various frequency bands. For power line frequencies (50 - 60 Hz), a simple vibrating reed instrument may be used. In radio frequencies, many instruments, such as wavemeters, use tunable resonant circuits, and in microwave frequencies, resonant cavities. Finally, digital frequency counters are useful over the whole frequency spectrum below infrared. 3, record 1, English, - frequency%20meter

Il existe une grande variété de fréquencemètres. Certains ne répondent qu'aux fréquences industrielles (50 - 60 Hz), d'autres aux radiofréquences ou aux hyperfréquences. Ils utilisent des lames vibrantes, des circuits résonants L-C ou des cavités résonantes. Enfin, les plus précis, sont des compteurs numériques. 2, record 1, French, - fr%C3%A9quencem%C3%A8tre
