Glossary » Units » Frequency » Hertz
Hertz (Hz) is a unit in the category of Frequency. This unit is commonly used in the SI unit system. Hertz (Hz) has a dimension of T-1 where T is time. It essentially the same as the corresponding standard SI unit /s.
Note that the seven base dimensions are M (Mass), L (Length), T (Time), Q (Temperature), N (Aamount of Substance), I (Electric Current), and J (Luminous Intensity).
Other units in the category of Frequency include Cycles Per Second (cps).
