Cycles per second [s-1], Hertz [Hz]or more commonly MegaHertz [MHz] .
2nd answer:
Technically, Hertz is the unit for electromagnetic frequencies, and cycles per second for everything else, like sound, ticks of a clock, and so on.
Also, I doubt that you will hear any sound in the MHz range as the range of sound that humans can hear runs from around 12Hz to 12,000 Hz.
3rd answer:
True but hearing was not mentioned in the question. Bats hear sounds with frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 0.12 MHz. And dolphins hear from 0.001 MHz to 0.15 MHz. But the question didn't ask about audibility as related to dolphins, bats or humans - it asked for units. Units don't have numbers associated with them - scalars do.
The question as written wasn't about frequency hearing ranges. And it didn't say who was doing the hearing. If it had been, the person would have asked "what is the sound frequency range that humans hear?" Technically a unit does not have numbers to go with it. If someone were to ask "what are the standard units of the metric system?" and the 1st answer was "kilograms, meters, seconds." The second answer wouldn't be "100 kg, 2 m, and 1 s." Those quantities could be the scalar values for someone's mass, height, and the time it takes someone to think about an answer but those answers provide more than just units to a question that did not ask for a specific quantity.
So the 2nd answer answers the question "What is the range of frequencies that humans can hear?"
Pitch and frequency both are measured in simple hertz.
Frequency is related by 1/Time. The unit is hertz (hz). One sound wave a second would yield a frequency of 1 hz.
Frequency is measured in hertz. Cycles per second.
The pitch of a sound is most closely related to the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequency sound waves are perceived as higher pitch, while lower frequency sound waves are perceived as lower pitch.
I think the answer you seek is frequency. A low pitch equals a low frequency of the sound wave.
The unit used to measure the frequency of sound is hertz (Hz).
decibles
The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. A high-pitched sound has a higher frequency, while a low-pitched sound has a lower frequency. The unit of measurement for frequency is hertz (Hz).
Pitch and frequency both are measured in simple hertz.
The unit of measure for the frequency of a sound wave is hertz (Hz), which represents the number of cycles or vibrations per second.
The unit to measure the frequency of a sound wave is hertz (Hz). One hertz is equal to one cycle per second. Frequency is a measure of how many wave cycles occur in a given time period, typically measured in seconds. In the context of sound waves, frequency determines the pitch of the sound, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.
The unit of shrillness of sound is typically measured in decibels (dB). Shrillness refers to the high-pitched quality of a sound which is influenced by the frequency of the sound wave. The higher the frequency, the more shrill the sound is perceived to be.
Frequency is related by 1/Time. The unit is hertz (hz). One sound wave a second would yield a frequency of 1 hz.
No, the frequency of a sound wave is the number of wave cycles that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz. It represents how many times a sound wave repeats in a specific period of time, not the amount of energy passing through a unit area in a unit of time.
The basic unit of a frequency is called Hertz. One Hz is one cycle per second. This applies to frequencies such as sound, radio, and light.
The frequency of a sound measures how often a sound wave repeats within a second. It is perceived as the pitch of the sound, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitch sounds and lower frequencies corresponding to lower pitch sounds. The unit of frequency is hertz (Hz).
