Hi
The one which i like is the zero-crossings method...
Just implement a zero-crossing comparator with a 1 second counter... and you have the frequency..

You don't even need a comparator if d input is Square wave , just feed it to clock of counter which will count pulses and output dvided by time taken to reach there will give u frequency.
Alternatively circuits r there that convert frequency to voltage : use analog version for sin input and digital for square wave input
What is frequency of a signal? It is number of periods in a second.
Count periods in a specific time and calculate frequency.
Period of a signal is inverselly proportional to it's frequency. Measure duration of a period and calculate frequency.
What previously posters said is dealing with signal conditioning before measurement and is not a method of frequency measurement.

CRO is one of possibillities. Sometimes you may use allso a seconds pointer on your watch. At some other indirect methods the use of a voltmeter or a meter or a scales is possible. But you always must count a number of periods or length of it.
First bring down the voltage to 0-5 volts range using conventional voltage divider. Then feed this signal to a schmitt trigger based on an opamp. Then give this signal to CCP input of PIC 16f877 microcontroller. Search the michrochip website for an application note and u surely will find one.
