#888.bar(8)~~889# cycles per second.

Explanation:

The frequency is given by the number of cycles per second.

Here, the wave has #4000# cycles per #4.5# seconds, so its frequency is

#"frequency"=(4000 \ "cycles")/(4.5 \ "seconds")=888.bar(8) \ "cycles per second"#

I've rounded the cycles per second to a whole number to make the answer more reasonable.

#888.bar(8)~~889#
