A frequency counter is the most accurate way. As stated above some digital multimeters include this feature, but stand alone frequency counters are also available.
Another way is to use an oscilloscope and measure the period of one cycle, then calculate the frequency as the reciprocal of the period you measured.
Another way is to use a multiple tuning fork frequency meter. These devices have perhaps a dozen Tuning Forks tuned to different frequencies (with the 60 Hz fork in the center, lower frequency forks to the left, and higher frequency forks to the right) and an electromagnetic excitation coil. The tuning fork(s) closest in frequency to the powerline will vibrate and the others will remain stationary, allowing you to read the frequency. They are a bit course in their measurement, but usually can identify differences of about 0.1 Hz.
However, if your home is powered from the national power grid (not a local generator) the frequency is required to be 60 Hz to a precision that a clock synchronized to the power line will never be more then 10 seconds fast or slow of the correct time, although the line frequency might be high or low for short periods as much as a couple Hz.

Does 110V 60Hz to 110V 50Hz affect the clock?
Yes it is because the motor which drives it uses the hertz frequency to regulate itself. You might find if you move from a 60 hertz area to 50 hertz area and use a stepdown transformer to make your typical 120 volt appliance working on 230 volt that in the same percentual rate the time changes, for the hertz rate that is, app 20 % longer.
What is the time to complete one cycle of 60 Hz AC?
Hz is short for Hertz, which is the international standard (SI) unit of frequency of an alternating current (AC) voltage. 50Hz means the voltage alternates 50 times per second, 60Hz obviously means 60 times/sec. 60Hz is the normal frequency of the incoming power lines in North America, while 50Hz is seen in many European countries. While convertors exist to use electric devices on a different voltage, convertors generally are not available to use 50Hz devices on a 60Hz power grid, or vice-versa. While some devices can be used on either, many others will not work or may even be damaged. Check with the manufacturer to be sure. Incidentally, since the unit of Hertz is named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, it is customary to capitalize the H. So 60Hz is considered correct, while 60hz is not.
How many derived quantity were there name them?
There is really no limit to the number of ways in which you can combine the basic units. Check the Wikipedia article " SI derived unit" for some examples.
How do you get the hertz of a circuit breaker 200 amps?
All North American utility suppliers are set up for 60 Hz. As such, all breakers are designed for 60 Hz operation. Although European electricity is 50 Hz, North American breakers would no doubt function well. It is highly recommended that you employ the services of a qualified electrician for installation or modification of any electrical service.
What is the KESC per unit charge for electric power for residency in Pakistan?
The per unit rate for electric power charged by K-Electric in Pakistan varies depending on the consumer category and usage. It is recommended to check the official K-Electric website or contact their customer service for the most current rates.
What type of current is used in your home alternating or direct?
In North America the electrical system is alternating current at a frequency of 60 Hertz. Europe and the UK use alternating current at a frequency of 50 Hertz. Direct current systems are obsolete because of the inability to transmit the voltage over long distances.
How can I use a multimeter to check the frequency in hertz (Hz) of an electrical signal?
To check the frequency of an electrical signal using a multimeter, set the multimeter to the frequency measurement mode. Connect the multimeter probes to the signal source, ensuring proper polarity. The multimeter will display the frequency in hertz (Hz) on the screen.
How to check frequency with a multimeter?
To check frequency with a multimeter, set the multimeter to the frequency measurement mode. Connect the probes to the circuit or signal you want to measure. The multimeter will display the frequency in hertz (Hz) on the screen.
What is the frequency in hertz of gma ch 7?
The frequency of Channel 7 on GMA will depend on your location and the broadcasting station. You can check your local TV guide or contact your cable/satellite provider for specific frequency information.
Does 110V 60Hz to 110V 50Hz affect the clock?
Yes it is because the motor which drives it uses the hertz frequency to regulate itself. You might find if you move from a 60 hertz area to 50 hertz area and use a stepdown transformer to make your typical 120 volt appliance working on 230 volt that in the same percentual rate the time changes, for the hertz rate that is, app 20 % longer.
What is the purpose is of a diode?
The purpose of a diode is to allow electric current to pass in one direction while blocking electric current in the opposite direction. It is for this reason that diode is usually referred as the check valve.
How do you measure the frequency of the periodic motion of a pendulum?
You can measure the frequency of a pendulum's periodic motion by counting the number of complete oscillations it makes in a given time period, usually one second. The frequency is the number of cycles or oscillations per unit time and is usually measured in Hertz (Hz), which represents cycles per second.
What will happen when you put 50 hz equipment into 60 hz power supply?
Normally, there won't be any problem at all. Most power supplies will run on either frequency. However, when moving from one region to another, always check the voltage requirements of the equipment against the new region's mains voltage. Europe uses 230V for example while North America uses 110V. A lot of modern equipment has power supplies that will accept a wide range of input voltages but it is imperative that you check before connecting. All equipment should have an information label that sets out voltage requirements.
When an electric field is applied to a conductor does the electric field develops within the conductor or around the conductor?
The electric field will develop inside the conductor, depending on the characteristics of the electric field -- in a steady state (DC) or in an alternating mode (AC). The higher the frequency of oscillation, the shallower the field will reside in the conductor -- skin depth (check the related link). Hence, when the frequency is high, only the few mm's of the outer skin participates in the action (AC electrical conduction.) In steady state (DC), the frequency is zero, the electric field is distributed inside the whole conductor.

What is the difference between sampling frequency and frequency?
frequency is simply the rate at which something is happening, ie the frequency of Christmas is once a year, the frequency of having breakfast is once a day etc. If frequency is expressed in Hertz, it's how many times something happens during a second. Sampling is, well, sampling. Usually means testing and measuring something changeable. If you're running a bath and occasionally stick your fingers in to check the temperature, then that's sampling, Sampling frequency simply describes at which rate you're making whatever test or measurement it is you're talking about.
Is it safe to operate Japanese audio equipment in US?
This a complicated question, but in general, most audio equipment works in the US if it works in Japan. This is based on the fact that the electrical outlets are similar (they use 110-120 volt at 60 hertz frequency) but be aware that some outlets will have a slightly different frequency (110-120 volt at 50 hertz frequency). Double check before you use the equipment and use a transformer to gap the difference. Speaker impedance is usually accounted for the same way across countries, but make sure to ask an expert that's dealt with your particular audio equipment.
