  2. Microsecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsecond

    10 microseconds (μs) – cycle time for frequency 100 kHz, radio wavelength 3 km. 18 microseconds – net amount per year that the length of the day lengthens, largely due to tidal acceleration. [3] 20.8 microseconds – sampling interval for digital audio with 48,000 samples/s. 22.7 microseconds – sampling interval for CD audio (44,100 ...

  3. Orders of magnitude (frequency) - Wikipedia

    2 Hz: 120 bpm, common tempo in music ~7.83 Hz: Fundamental frequency of the Schumann resonances: 10 1: 10 hertz 10 Hz: Cyclic rate of a typical automobile engine at idle (equivalent to 600 rpm) 12 Hz: Acoustic – the lowest possible frequency that a human can hear [3] 18 Hz: Average house cat's purr 24 Hz: Common frame rate of movies 27.5 Hz

  4. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    Frequency (symbol f), most often measured in hertz (symbol: Hz), is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. [1] It is also occasionally referred to as temporal frequency for clarity and to distinguish it from spatial frequency.

  5. Pulse-repetition frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-repetition_frequency

    Both are measured in terms of cycle per second, or hertz. The PRF is normally much lower than the frequency. The PRF is normally much lower than the frequency. For instance, a typical World War II radar like the Type 7 GCI radar had a basic carrier frequency of 209 MHz (209 million cycles per second) and a PRF of 300 or 500 pulses per second.

  6. Hertz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz

    The hertz is defined as one per second for periodic events. The International Committee for Weights and Measures defined the second as "the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom" [3] [4] and then adds: "It follows that the hyperfine splitting in the ground state of the ...

  7. Clock rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_rate

    It is measured in hertz (pulses per second). Clock rate or clock speed in computing typically refers to the frequency at which the clock generator of a processor can generate pulses used to synchronize the operations of its components. [1] It is used as an indicator of the processor's speed. Clock rate is measured in the SI unit of frequency ...

  8. Pulsed radiofrequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_radiofrequency

    Pulsed radiofrequency is the technique whereby radio frequency (RF) oscillations are gated at a rate of pulses (cycles) per second (one cycle per second is known as a hertz (Hz)). Radio frequency energies occupy 1.0 × 10 4 Hz to 3.0 × 10 11 Hz of the electromagnetic spectrum.

  9. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    The exact modern SI definition is "[The second] is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the cesium frequency, Δν Cs, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the cesium 133 atom, to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s −1." [1]
