ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

High Frequency

Okay, let's pretend that you have a magic sound machine that makes different noises.

When you press a button on this machine, it makes a sound that goes up and down really fast. This is called high frequency. It's like a dog whistle, which you might not be able to hear because it's making really high frequency sounds.

High frequency sounds are important because they have different effects on our bodies and the world around us. For example, when sound bounces off of things, it makes echoes. High frequency sounds can make really cool echoes that sound like they're bouncing all over the place.

High frequency sounds are also used by things like cell phones and radios to send information really quickly through the air. This is like if you wanted to talk to your friend who is far away, you might use a special walkie-talkie that can send and receive high frequency signals.

So basically, high frequency is a type of sound that goes up and down really fast. It can have special effects on our bodies and the world, and it helps things communicate quickly over long distances.
