Understanding Hertz and Cycles per Second

Hertz (Hz) and cycles per second (cps) are identical units of measurement used to express frequency. One hertz is exactly equal to one cycle per second, making the conversion straightforward: 1 Hz = 1 cps.

Common Applications

These units are widely used in various fields:

  • Audio frequencies (20 Hz - 20,000 Hz for human hearing)
  • Radio and television broadcasting
  • Computer processor speeds (measured in GHz)
  • Electrical power systems (60 Hz in US, 50 Hz in Europe)

Conversion Formula

To convert between hertz and cycles per second, use this simple formula:

Cycles per Second = Hertz × 1
