The number of cycles per second is called?
Frequency, which is measured in Hertz (Hz)
What is the unit to measure frequency of a sound wave?
Generally the unit used for frequency is Hertz (cycles per second).
How many watts in 50 MHz?
There is no correlation; 5 megahertz is a measure of frequency (5 million cycles/actions per second) whereas 5 watts is a measure of power.
What is measured in frequency?
== Frequency speaks to the number of oscillations per unit of time. Oscillations or cycles per unit of time is a concept applied to some kind of repeating or harmonic motion or wave, and it could be mechanical (sound) or electromagnetic (light). When we consider the frequency of these oscillations, we see the frequency as the number of cycles per second that the oscillation makes. And cycles per second is what is called Hertz, after Heinrich Hertz, an early investigator. (One cycle per second is one Hertz.) A link can be found below.
How you calculate seconds in hertz?
Hertz is a unit of measuring frequency. It is 'cycles per second' or just second^-1 or 1/seconds. It is not the same as seconds (a measure of time or elapsed time).
What is the number of wave or cycles per second called?
The unit of cycles per second is called Hertz
What is the measure of the number of waves that pass a point?
I don't think there is a special name for that. However, the number of wave cycles that pass per second or some other time unit is called frequency. The international unit for frequency is cycles / second, which has the special name hertz (Hz).
What units are used to measure wave frequency?
The hertz (symbol Hz) is the SI unit of frequency defined as the number of cycles per second of a periodic phenomenon
What is measuredin a unit called hertz?
Frequency. The number of Hertz is the same as the number of cycles per second.
What is the term for number of vibrations per second?
Hertz are used to measure cycles per second. Sound is measured in hertz. I hope I understood the question.
What is the number of cycles of a wave that passes a stationary point in one second is called its?
Wave Frequency.
What is the term for the unit that measure wave frequencies?
The unit of frequency is "Hertz", abbreviated "Hz". Also called "cycles". Also called "per second".
The number of times an object vibrates per second is called what?
Hertz, abbreviated "Hz". The unit of Hz is "per second".
Number of complete cycles in a second is a whole number where as it is not?
The frequency does not have to be a whole number. 3 cycles in two seconds is equivalent to 1.5 cycles per second so the frequency is 1.5 Hertz. That is not a whole number!
What is a cgs unit to measure frequency?
Hertz (Cycles per Second).
What is the number of compressions or rarefactions that pass a point each second?
frequency (probably of sound which is also called the pitch)
The number of cycles per second is called?
Frequency, which is measured in Hertz (Hz)
