As far as we know, or the methods we use to describe them are the same
as in frequency and wave length. So that's two senses sight and sound
we use the same measuring units to describe them.
But I can;t think of a way we measure smell or touch in the same way.
And then there's this which I can't quite decide on, whether it's art or
