Best Answer

Cycles per second (CPS) unless you are dealing with electrical, electro-magnetic, and electronic issues, in which case the 'vibrations' are measured in Hertz (Hz). The word is capitalized because its name comes from a person's name.

The unit, "Hertz" is often mistakenly used when CPS is the correct unit.

Yes, That is correct !


How are reciprocals useful in finding the number of vibrations per second needed to produce certain notes?

Vibrations per second is a measure of frequency. If we call V the frequency, and L the wave length, then V=C/L where c is a constant meaning the speed of light c = 3 x 108m/szperiodz

How many vibrations per second are represented in a radio wave of 101.7 MHz?

The "M" in "MHz" means millions; and "Hz" means "vibrations (or cycles) per second". Thus, MHz means "millions of vibrations per second".
