Frequency is simply the number of waves per unit of time. There is a certain range of frequencies we can see, and many more we cannot. Red is the lowest visible frequency, violet the highest. We cannot see frequencies lower than red or higher than violet, though we can use them in our technology. For instance, radio waves are the same phenomenon as visible light, just much lower frequency. X-rays are also the same phenomenon, but much higher frequencies than we can see.
