What are the units of hertz

[lasarro]

I know Hz is measured per second, but what per second??

[nicolely2F]

Hz is the unit for 1 cycle/second. The cycle refers to a wave's cycle and it's from the peak of one wave to the trough of the next

[alexfwang3g]

Cycles per second. Think of it as things done or cycles completed per second. Therefore, finding the inverse of frequency would give you how many cycles or things were done.

[vanessas0123]

Hz is unit for frequency, and it equals to 1 cycle / second.

[Victoria Otuya 4F]

Is hz the same as s-1?

[Audrie Chan-3B]

Is hz the same as s-1?

Yes, the units for Hz is s-1 and it basically means that there is one cycle per second.

[Yailin Romo 4G]

The units for hertz is one cycle per second.

[Ying Yan 1F]

cycle .s^-1

[105335337]

The unit for Hz, which is a frequency is s^-1. However, it means cycles per second.

[LBacker_2E]

As mentioned above Hz is equivalent to s^-1, which is why you can often cancel out Hz when you have m/s in your calculations.

[Jasmine Vallarta 2L]

1/s

[Jedrick Zablan 3L]

1 cycle * s^(-1)

[KaleenaJezycki_1I]

1 Hz = 1 cycle/second but is expressed as 1s^-1 most typically which will help you many times to clearly see unit calculation. Also when you end up with the unit s^-1 if the problem doesn't clearly say to express it like that, it is appropriate to change it back to Hz.

[Juana Abana 1G]

The units for hertz is one cycle per second (s^-1)

[RobertXu_2J]

The units for hertz is cycles per second, but the cycles can refer to a number of different cycles so it's -s.

[MBouwman_4A]

Hertz is a unit of frequency measured as cycles per second.

[305376058]

Hertz can also be expressed as s^-1, which means one cycle per second

[Cynthia Rodas 4H]

Is hz the same as s-1?

Hz is one cycle per second (1/s) and it is the same as s^-1. It just becomes s^-1 since it is read in the numerator rather than the denominator.

[Deana Moghaddas 3E]

1/s. For example, 13 Hz = 13/second would be 13 cycles per second

[J Medina 2I]

s^-1

refers to cycles per second

[Jesalynne 2F]

Hertz is cycles per second and it can be written as 1/s or s^-1

[Shimei_2F]

The unit for hertz is the number of cycles per second which basically measures frequency.

[Amanda Ung 4D]

cycle per second (s-1)

[katrinawong3d]

number of cycles per second (s^-)

[Viviana Velasquez]

Hz would be s^-1 which implies 1 cycle per second

[Mallika Chimpiri 3K]

I cycle per second

[Jacob Villar 2C]

1 Hz is counted as 1 cycle per second

[Sean Sugai 4E]

Hz is a unit of frequency that denotes the number of complete cycles per second. 1 Hz=1/sec

[kpang_4H]

1 Hz = 1 cycle/second

[Kevin Liu 1J]

Hertz refers to s^-1. This is justified by the fact that c = v λ; c is in units of m/s, λ is in units of m, therefore leaving v in units of s^-1.

[Alan Cornejo 1a]

Hz is the unit for 1 cycle/second. The cycle refers to a wave's cycle and it's from the peak of one wave to the trough of the next

perfect explanation

[Aarushi Solanki 4F]

Hertz essentially indicates how many "cycles" of the wave have passed a certain point in one second. In simple terms, 1Hz = 1cycle/second. The "cycle" is implied.

[JohannaPerezH2F]

The units for hertz is one cycle per second

[pJimenez3F]

Hz, S-1, cycles per second they all mean the same thing

[Abraham De Luna]

Hz is equivalent to 1 cycle/second.

[Caitlin Ciardelli 3E]

1 Hertz (Hz) = 1 cycle per second (s^-1)
Frequency (v) is measured in Hertz

example:
an electric field that oscillates at 6.4x10^14 Hz (blue light) completes 6.4x10^14 cycles per second
an electric field that oscillates at 4.3x10^14 Hz (red light) completes 4.3x10^14 cycles per second

red light has a lower frequency than blue light

[stephaniekim2K]

The unit is 1/s which is essentially s^-1

[Deana Moghaddas 3E]

1 cycle/second

[Celine 1F]

Hz is the measurement of frequency and it is 1 cycle per second

[zfinn]

1 cycle/second or in calculation basically s^-1

[CalvinTNguyen2D]

s^-1, or one cycle per second!

[Mallika Chimpiri 3K]

1 cycle/second!
