Janeway looks at Tuvok's cake near the end of the episode and declares that the frosting pattern is the frequency. The problem is that a wave pattern is not a frequency, it's a waveform. The frequency is the number of waves that pass through any point each second. There's no way to express a frequency to any discernable degree of accuracy using cake frosting.
