what is the unit of frequency measured in cycles per second?

Answer 1

hertz, Hz

Answer 2

The previous answers were correct, Hertz. But why Hertz?
In fact, up until the 1960's, cycles per second was the term used (c/s). Then in a complete overhaul and internationalisation of measurement units, the SI(Systeme International) system was brought in.
Each of these measurement units was named after a scientist who was of great importance in their field. Hence Farads after Michael Faraday, Maxwells after Clerk Maxwell etc.
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz was credited with being the first person to transmit and receive radio waves.

Answer 3

The unit of frequency, Hertz, Hz, is also used with the metric prefixes.
A GigaHertz, GHz, for instance is whole lot of cycles per second. Among other qualities and quantities, computers are now rated in GHz. Gcps would take a bit of getting used to, I think.

Although it is seldom seen, the fractional prefixes have been used as well. A MiliHertz (mHZ) as opposed to a MegaHertz (MHZ) is one thousand seconds to make one cycle. That would be something like a Coocoo clock, (15X60 seconds) where the bird comes out and sings every 900 seconds.

A one mHz clock would be running a bit slow.

The unit is named after Heinrich Rudolf Hertz. In Russia, the name is written as if it were pronounced "Gerts" since the Russians originally had trouble pronouncing the letter "h." Since they have improved at it, they spell the car rental company with a similar name beginning with the Cyrillic letter that looks like "X."

This still isn't quite right, but to most English speakers it sounds better. For Scots, it sounds like the last sound in the word, loch."

I added the last two paragraphs because of the answer after mine.

Answer 4

The term "cycles per second" is an indication that frequency measures occurrences per unit time. It is perfectly reasonable to measure it in cycles per minute, and many frequencies are so measured. The old phonograph records had frequency notations on them. A "33 record" meant 33 1/3 revolutions per minute, and an old 45 record meant 45 revolutions per minute, etc.

Answer 5

The unit of frequency measured in cycles per second is Hertz (Hz).

F = 1/T = x Hz

T = Period

Answer 6

Hertz (Hz)

Is the unit of frequency. It means Cycles per Second.

Answer 7

for any wave, speed V = f lambda, the position 'f' is the frequency and lambda is the wavelength so as that, f = V / lambda = 344 / 17.2 = 20 Hz. in addition you may exercising recurring the different complications besides. i imagine you haven't paid interest to the lecture given. by way of the indisputable fact that is so user-friendly!!!

Answer 8

I STILL wanna know what's wrong with cps You always have to explain that 1Hertz = 1 cycle per second.

Answer 9

Hertz
