  2. Inverse second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_second

    1 Hz The inverse second or reciprocal second ( s1 ), also called per second , is a unit defined as the multiplicative inverse of the second (a unit of time ). It is applicable for physical quantities of dimension reciprocal time , such as frequency and strain rate .

  3. Hertz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz

    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 s1, meaning that one hertz is one per second or the reciprocal of one second. [2]

  4. Piano key frequencies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies

    The frequency of a pitch is derived by multiplying (ascending) or dividing (descending) the frequency of the previous pitch by the twelfth root of two (approximately 1.059463). [1] [2] For example, to get the frequency one semitone up from A 4 (A ♯ 4), multiply 440 Hz by the twelfth root of two.

  5. Cycle per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_per_second

    The cycle per second is a once-common English name for the unit of frequency now known as the hertz (Hz). Cycles per second may be denoted by c.p.s., c/s, or, ambiguously, just "cycles" (Cyc., Cy., C, or c). The term comes from repetitive phenomena such as sound waves having a frequency measurable as a number of oscillations, or cycles, per ...

  6. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    The exact modern SI definition is "[The second] is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the cesium frequency, Δν Cs, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the cesium 133 atom, to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s1."

  7. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    Frequency (symbol f), most often measured in hertz (symbol: Hz), is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. [1] It is also occasionally referred to as temporal frequency for clarity and to distinguish it from spatial frequency.

  8. Orders of magnitude (frequency) - Wikipedia

    1 hertz (Hz) 1 to 1.66 Hz: Approximate frequency of an adult human's resting heart beat: 1 Hz: 60 bpm, common tempo in music 2 Hz: 120 bpm, common tempo in music ~7.83 Hz: Fundamental frequency of the Schumann resonances: 10 1: 10 hertz 10 Hz: Cyclic rate of a typical automobile engine at idle (equivalent to 600 rpm) 12 Hz

  9. Jansky - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansky

    The flux density of astronomical sources is many orders of magnitude below 1 W·m −2 ·Hz1, so the result is multiplied by 10 26 to get a more appropriate unit for natural astrophysical phenomena. [7] The millijansky, mJy, was sometimes referred to as a milli-flux unit (mfu) in older astronomical literature. [8]
