Hertz means Frequency ie cycles per second.

1 hertz is 1 cycle per second

Another answer

Hertz is the SI unit for "frequency". Frequency is defined as "the number of cycles per second". The word "cycles" refers to a stated number of fully-completed wave transitions of:

* a physical sound wave traveling through a solid (like wood or bone or metal), a fluid (like water), a gas (like air), etc.

or

* an alternating electric current wave traveling along wires or other conducting substances

or

* an electromagnetic wave - such as a radio wave, a light wave (from below infra-red to above ultra-violet), an X-ray wave, etc.

An electromagnetic wave can travel through in any kind of substance - including solids, fluids, gases and the so-called vacuum of outer space - but the actual speed of travel of an electromagnetic wave will always depend on the density of the substance it is traveling through.

How do you convert seconds to hertz?

To convert seconds to hertz, you simply take the reciprocal of the time in seconds. For example, if you have a time of 0.5 seconds, the conversion to hertz would be 1 / 0.5 = 2 hertz. Hertz is the unit of frequency, representing the number of cycles per second.


The hertz is used to measure the frequency of sound if something is rated at 150 hertz what does that mean?

That means that whatever that wave is, whether it be a radio or television wave, is moving up and down 150 times per second.


Are there fractional frequencies of a hundredth hertz or thousandth hertz or millionth hertz etc?

What does it mean for a wave to have a frequency of one hertz?

1 hertz is the same as 1 cycle per second. Waves have vibrations, or something else that changes over time, and the frequency - measured in hertz - specifies how many full cycles occur in one second. For example, if a water wave has 1 cycle per second (1 hertz), that would mean that at any given point, the water moves up and down once per second.


What it means for a wave to have a frequency of hertz?

A wave with a frequency of 1 Hertz completes one cycle per second. Higher frequencies mean more cycles per second, while lower frequencies mean fewer cycles per second. Frequency helps determine the pitch of a sound wave or the color of light.


What is the US calculation of 110V 60hz?

Do you mean definition? If so 110V = 110 volts-60hz = 60 hertz. Hertz is the cycles that the electricity runs at. 60hz. is the US standard. Europe is at 50hz.
