The hertz is defined as one per second for periodic events. The International Committee for Weights and Measures defined the second as "the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom" [3] [4] and then adds: "It follows that the hyperfine splitting in the ground state of the ...

Visible light is an electromagnetic wave, consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields traveling through space. The frequency of the wave determines its color: 400 THz (4 × 10 14 Hz) is red light, 800 THz (8 × 10 14 Hz) is violet light, and between these (in the range 400–800 THz) are all the other colors of the visible spectrum.
The original IBM PC (c. 1981) had a clock rate of 4.77 MHz (4,772,727 cycles per second). In 1992, both Hewlett-Packard and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) exceeded 100 MHz with RISC techniques in the PA-7100 and AXP 21064 DEC Alpha respectively. In 1995, Intel's P5 Pentium chip ran at 100 MHz
Factor by which the phase velocity of light is reduced in a medium unitless 1: intensive, scalar Reluctance: resistance to the flow of magnetic flux H −1: L −2 M −1 T 2 I 2: scalar Solid angle: Ω: Ratio of area on a sphere to its radius squared steradian (sr) ∠ 2: Specific energy: Energy density per unit mass
In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.
