(symbol: Hz) is a measure of frequency, informally defined as the number of events occurring per second

It is the basic unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), and is used worldwide in both general-purpose and scientific contexts

can be used to measure any periodic event; the most common use for hertz is to describe frequency of rotation, in which case a speed of 1 Hz is equal to one cycle per second

More formally, the unit hertz is defined by the International System of Units (SI) such that the hyperfine splitting in the ground state of the caesium 133 atom is exactly 9 192 631 770 hertz, \nu (hfs Cs) = 9 192 631 770 Hz

Equivalently, 1 Hz = \nu (hfs Cs)

National Research Council of Canada: Optical frequency standard based on a single trapped ion

National Research Council of Canada: Generation of the Hz

BIPM Cesium ion fCs definition

named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made important scientific contributions to electromagnetism

National Research Council of Canada: Cesium fountain clock

National Physical Laboratory: Trapped ion optical frequency standards

National Research Council of Canada: Optical frequency comb

Sound is a traveling wave which is an oscillation of pressure

Even higher frequencies are believed to occur naturally, in the frequencies of the quantum-mechanical wave functions of high-energy (or, equivalently, massive) particles, although these are not directly observable, and must be inferred from their int

For practical reasons, these are typically not expressed in hertz, but in terms of the equivalent energy
