What is frequency measured in?

Frequency is commonly measured in Hertz (Hz). One Hertz is defined as one cycle per second.

• Hertz (Hz): https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Hertz%20(Hz) The standard unit of frequency, representing the number of cycles of a periodic phenomenon per second.

Larger units derived from Hertz are also used:

• Kilohertz (kHz): https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Kilohertz%20(kHz) Equals 1,000 Hz.
• Megahertz (MHz): https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Megahertz%20(MHz) Equals 1,000,000 Hz.
• Gigahertz (GHz): https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Gigahertz%20(GHz) Equals 1,000,000,000 Hz.
• Terahertz (THz): https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Terahertz%20(THz) Equals 1,000,000,000,000 Hz.

Sometimes, frequency is expressed in cycles per second (cps), which is equivalent to Hertz.

• Cycles per second (cps): https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Cycles%20per%20second%20(cps) An older unit for frequency, now largely replaced by Hertz.
