Frequency vs. Hertz

Frequencynoun

(uncountable) The rate of occurrence of anything; the relationship between incidence and time period.

Frequencynoun

(uncountable) The property of occurring often rather than infrequently.

Frequencynoun

(countable) The quotient of the number of times n a periodic phenomenon occurs over the time t in which it occurs: f = n / t.

Frequencynoun

(statistics) number of times an event occurred in an experiment (absolute frequency)

Frequencynoun

The condition of returning frequently; occurrence often repeated; common occurence; as, the frequency of crimes; the frequency of miracles.

Frequencynoun

A crowd; a throng.

Frequencynoun

the number of occurrences within a given time period (usually 1 second);

Frequencynoun

the ratio of the number of observations in a statistical category to the total number of observations

Frequencynoun

the number of observations in a given statistical category

Frequencynoun

the rate at which something occurs over a particular period of time or in a given sample

Frequencynoun

the fact or state of being frequent or happening often.

Frequencynoun

the rate per second of a vibration constituting a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light)

Frequencynoun

the particular waveband at which radio signals are broadcast or transmitted

Frequency

Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is also occasionally referred to as temporal frequency to emphasize the contrast to spatial frequency, and ordinary frequency to emphasize the contrast to angular frequency.

Hertznoun

In the International System of Units, the derived unit of frequency; one (period or cycle of any periodic event) per second. Symbol: Hz

Hertznoun

a unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second; it is abbreviated Hz. It is commonly used to specify the frequency of radio waves, and also the clock frequencies in digital computers. For these applications, kilohertz and megahertz are the most commonly used units, derived from hertz.

Hertznoun

the unit of frequency; one Hertz has a periodic interval of one second

Hertznoun

German physicist who was the first to produce electromagnetic waves artificially (1857-1894)

Hertznoun

German physicist who with James Franck proved the existence of the stationary energy states postulated by Bohr (1887-1975)

Hertznoun

the SI unit of frequency, equal to one cycle per second.

Hertz

The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the derived unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as one cycle per second. It is named after Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857-1894), the first person to provide conclusive proof of the existence of electromagnetic waves.
