Hertz means Frequency ie cycles per second.
1 hertz is 1 cycle per second
Another answer
Hertz is the SI unit for "frequency". Frequency is defined as "the number of cycles per second". The word "cycles" refers to a stated number of fully-completed wave transitions of:
* a physical sound wave traveling through a solid (like wood or bone or metal), a fluid (like water), a gas (like air), etc.
or
* an alternating electric current wave traveling along wires or other conducting substances
or
* an electromagnetic wave - such as a radio wave, a light wave (from below infra-red to above ultra-violet), an X-ray wave, etc.
An electromagnetic wave can travel through in any kind of substance - including solids, fluids, gases and the so-called vacuum of outer space - but the actual speed of travel of an electromagnetic wave will always depend on the density of the substance it is traveling through.

What does 27MHz mean?
27 Million Hertz, (27 Million per second)
How do you convert seconds to hertz?
Hertz are a frquency, so if you have 1 hertz it is 1 hertz/second if you have 2 hertz =2 hertz second and so on, so a Intel processor at 2.4ghz would be 2.4 billion hertz a second.
What unit do you use to measure waves?
If you mean electrical waves that would be Hz (hertz)
What is the unit of viberation?
If you mean, how many vibrations per second (or cycles per second), that's the Hertz.
What is the origin of the word hertz?
After the German physicist , Heinrich Hertz.
What does Hz mean in subwoofers?
hertz. it a frequency measurment.
What the letters MHz mean?
The M is short for Mega, which is 1 million. The Hz is short for Hertz, the measure of frequency. MHz is therefore short for Mega Hertz, or 1 million Hertz.
What does 10Hz mean?
Hz means Hertz. One complete cycle per second. 10 hertz would be ten cycles per second.
What does 27MHz mean?
27 Million Hertz, (27 Million per second)
How do you convert seconds to hertz?
Hertz are a frquency, so if you have 1 hertz it is 1 hertz/second if you have 2 hertz =2 hertz second and so on, so a Intel processor at 2.4ghz would be 2.4 billion hertz a second.
What are The units of frequency are called?
Hertz. Hz
Does hertz mean the same as cycles per second?
Yes. 1 Hertz (Hz.) = 1 cycle per second Units are 1/seconds = sec^-1
What is mean by hertz pressure?
It is the pressure between not flat element. for example a rail an a wheel
What unit do you use to measure waves?
If you mean electrical waves that would be Hz (hertz)
The hertz is used to measure the frequency of sound if something is rated at 150 hertz what does that mean?
That means that whatever that wave is, whether it be a radio or television wave, is moving up and down 150 times per second.
Are there fractional frequencies of a hundredth hertz or thousandth hertz or millionth hertz etc?
Unsure.
What is another word for hertz?
Hertz is the unit of measure for frequency, named after Heinrich Hertz
