Understanding the Units

What is a Hertz?

The hertz is the SI derived unit of frequency, equal to one cycle per second (1 Hz = 1/s).

Named after Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894), German physicist who experimentally demonstrated electromagnetic waves.

Common contexts: audio, radio, computing clock speeds.

What is a Revolutions per Minute?

One revolution per minute (RPM) equals exactly 1/60 hertz — one full rotation per minute.

Common contexts: engines, motors, turntables.
