60 Hz: Electromagnetic – standard AC mains power (American AC, Osaka AC), refresh rate of NTSC CRT televisions and standard refresh rate of computer monitors: 10 2: 100 Hz 100 Hz: Cyclic rate of a typical automobile engine at redline (equivalent to 6000 rpm) 261.626 Hz: Acoustic – the musical note middle C (C 4) 440 Hz
However, the lower refresh rate of 50 Hz introduces more flicker, so sets that use digital technology to double the refresh rate to 100 Hz are now very popular. (see Broadcast television systems ) Another difference between 50 Hz and 60 Hz standards is the way motion pictures (film sources as opposed to video camera sources) are transferred or ...
The first fully mechanical digital computer, the Z1, operated at 1 Hz (cycle per second) clock frequency and the first electromechanical general purpose computer, the Z3, operated at a frequency of about 5–10 Hz. The first electronic general purpose computer, the ENIAC, used a 100 kHz clock in its cycling unit. As each instruction took 20 ...
Frequency (Hz) Octave Description 16 to 32 1st The lower human threshold of hearing, and the lowest pedal notes of a pipe organ. 32 to 512 2nd to 5th Rhythm frequencies, where the lower and upper bass notes lie. 512 to 2,048 6th to 7th Defines human speech intelligibility, gives a horn-like or tinny quality to sound. 2,048 to 8,192 8th to 9th
Flicker-free is a term given to video displays, primarily cathode-ray tubes, operating at a high refresh rate to reduce or eliminate the perception of screen flicker.For televisions, this involves operating at a 100 Hz or 120 Hz hertz field rate to eliminate flicker, compared to standard televisions that operate at 50 Hz (PAL, SÉCAM systems) or 60 Hz (), most simply done by displaying each ...
Note the DE-9 connector, cryptic mode switch, contrast and brightness controls at front, and the V-Size and V-Hold knobs at rear, which allow the control of the scaling and signal to CRT refresh rate synchronization respectively. Various computer display standards or display modes have been used in the history of the personal computer.

The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), often described as being equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second. [1] [a] The hertz is an SI derived unit whose formal expression in terms of SI base units is s −1, meaning that one hertz is one per second or the reciprocal of one second. [2]
