Examples of hertz

Answer 1

Hertz is a unit of measurement that literally means "cycles per second" or cycles/seconds and it refers to a process that repeats at regular intervals. For example, a computer's "clock circuit" is a voltage signal that increases and decreases at a regular interval which may be 1 cycle per 1 nanosecond, which is equal to 1gigahertz.

Answer 2

"Hertz" is a measure of frequency. 1 Hz. means 1 vibration, or 1 cycle, per second. 100 Hz. means 100 cycles per second, etc. For larger frequencies, multiples such as kHz, MHz, or Ghz are often used.

Answer 3

• The typical frequency of electrical power supplied to homes is 60 Hertz (Hz).
• The human ear can detect sound waves within a range of 20 to 20,000 Hertz (Hz).
• In computing, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) operates at frequencies measured in gigahertz (GHz), typically ranging from 2 to 4 GHz.
