Here's the breakdown:
* Frequency refers to the number of times a repeating event occurs in a given time period.
* Hertz measures the number of cycles (or repetitions) per second.
For example:
* If a wave oscillates 10 times per second, its frequency is 10 hertz (10 Hz).
* If a sound wave vibrates 440 times per second, its frequency is 440 hertz (440 Hz), which corresponds to the musical note A.
Therefore, when you see a value expressed in hertz, you know it's representing the frequency of something that oscillates or vibrates.
