| radio frequency current drive | <radiobiology> Plasma waves in the radio-frequency range can be used to push plasma particles in such a way that current forms in the plasma, this is a method of non-inductive current drive which would allow for steady-state fusion reactors to operate. (09 Oct 1997) |

| radio frequency heating | <radiobiology> Process for heating the plasma by transferring energy to ions or electrons using waves generated by an external oscillator at an appropriate frequency. (This is similar to how a microwave oven heats food.) There are various types: See: ECRH, ICRH, and Lower Hybrid. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radio frequency or radiofrequency | <physics> Term used to describe electromagnetic radiation with frequencies less than infrared, but greater than audio frequencies, i.e., greater than about 15,000 Hz. Wavelengths are therefore less than about 20,000 km and greater than about 0.01 mm. (These numbers are not precise.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| gene frequency | The relative occurence (expressed as a percentage) of a gene in a given population. (09 Oct 1997) |
| recombination frequency | The frequency at which crossingover occurs between two chromosomal loci--the probability that twoloci will become unlinked during meiosis. (09 Oct 1997) |
| resonant frequency | The frequency at which individual magnetic nuclei absorb or emit radiofrequency energy in magnetic resonance studies. Synonym: resonance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory frequency | The number of breaths per minute. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collision frequency | <chemistry> The rate at which chemical species collide, used in theories of chemical kinetics. Also, the frequency with which gaseous molecules collide. (09 Oct 1997) |
| plasma frequency | <radiobiology> The natural collective oscillation frequency of a charge species (electrons, ions, etc.) in a plasma, in the absence of (or at least parallel to) a magnetic field. Also known as Langmuir or Langmuir-Tonks frequency. See: electrostatic waves, plasma oscillations. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mutational frequency | The proportions of mutations in a population. (05 Mar 2000) |
| critical flicker fusion frequency | The minimal number of flashes of light per second at which an intermittent light stimulus no longer stimulates a continuous visual sensation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyclotron frequency | <radiobiology> Number of times per second that a particle orbits a magnetic field line. The frequency is completely determined by the strength of the field and the particle's charge-to-mass ratio. (Often, and incorrectly, called the Larmor frequency. The cyclotron or gyrofrequency is twice the Larmor frequency of precession.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| hearing loss, high-frequency | Hearing loss in frequencies above 1000 hertz. (12 Dec 1998) |
| high frequency current | An alternating electric current having a frequency of 10,000 or more per second; it produces no muscular contractions and does not affect the sensory nerves. Synonym: d'Arsonval current, Tesla current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| high frequency deafness | Selective loss of hearing acuity for high frequencies, usually associated with neurosensory damage; common in acoustic trauma. (05 Mar 2000) |
