There is no such thing as a "unit of measurement for electromagnetic radiation". However, there are units for specific aspects of the electromagnetic radiation. Thus, depending on whether you want to measure its speed, its wavelength, its frequency, its period, its energy, its power, its intensity, etc., you would use different units.

The Pitch of a sound depends upon the speed of the vibrations causing it. This is called the frequency.

The frequency of a sound is measured in Hertz (Hz) after the German scientist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz(1857-1894)

1 Hertz = 1 Vibration Per Second

The unit for measuring frequency is Hertz (Hz). The SI equivalent is 1/sec or sec-1. It used to be called cycles per second. Older radio references may refer to kilocycles as the frequency which really meant 1000 cycles per second (which would be kHz, today).

Cycles per second. The term was common until the 70's when we started calling this a hertz. One Hertz is the same as one cycle per second or cps. 10,000 hertz was called 10 KHZ or 10K/cps.

In the SI system of measurement, the frequency of electromagnetic radiation is measured in hertz. Sometimes it's given as cycles or waves per second.
