Hertz measures the frequency of a repeating event per second. In simpler terms, it quantifies how many cycles a wave completes in one second. For example, when we refer to sound waves, one hertz corresponds to one vibration cycle per second.
Frequency measured in Hertz (Hz)
The number of vibrations in a given unit of time is called frequency. It is measured in hertz (Hz), where one hertz is equal to one vibration per second.
The unit for one cycle per second is called a hertz (Hz).
This unit was named after a person, so it is capitalized: Hertz. A Hertz is a unit of one cycle per second in an electric circuit. Outside of an electric circuit, the correct unit is CPS, or cycles per second.
There are 1000 hertz in a kilohertz. Kilohertz is a unit of frequency equivalent to 1000 hertz.
