What does rhythm mean when it comes to a periodic function like sine or cosine?

I don't know what rhythm means. I can't really find where it means anywhere. Maybe I'm not a good searcher but I really really try to search it out. I know the period is the length of one cycle. I know the amplitude is the halfway distance between the max and min of a sine or cosine function. I know the frequency is the number of cycles completed in a unit interval.

    It probably refers to frequency, although it’s a weird choice of words for sure.

  • I will probably change it to that or to the period and forget that word ever existed. Thanks @KM101

  • No problem. Period was used later on, so I’d guess it’s the former.

  • So is frequency though

  • It sounds like period to me. (Which is something essential that is missing). But without examples or the lesson text is pretty much impossible to say for certain.
