Frequency is the number of cycles (of a wave) per second. And Phase modulation is the modulation of the phase of a wave. Example - shift the phase by 90 degree or 180 degree. The benefit of it is you can have diferent waves of same frequency which does nt interfere each other.

Frequency modulation (FM) is a system in which the amplitude of the modulated carrier is kept constant, while its frequency is varied by the modulating signal.
<br>Phase modulation (PM) is a similar system in which the phase of the carrier is varied instead of its frequency as in FM, the amplitude of the carrier remains constant.
