1 hertz = 1 cycle per second.

A cycle is one repetition of any particular periodic event. If something moves or acts in a repetitive way, each time it repeats that repetitive motion or action it is completing a cycle.

Hertz is the unit of measurement that represents the rate at which these cycles take place.

For instance, if a wheel makes one complete rotation in 1 second, then it is operating at 1 Hertz (Hz).

1 cycle / 1 second = 1 Hz

If a wheel makes 10 rotations in 1 second, it is operating at 10Hz.

10 cycles / 1 second = 1 Hz

Likewise, if a wheel makes 10 rotations in 10 seconds, it is operating at 10Hz.

10 cycles / 10 seconds = 1 Hz.
