Hertz

Scientific Unit Frequency Unit Frequency Pitch


Hertz (symbol: Hz) is the **unit of measurement for frequency** in the International System of Units (SI). It indicates how many cycles (oscillations) occur in one second.

Examples

  • A₄ = 440 Hz → the sound wave vibrates 440 times per second
  • The human hearing range spans roughly **20 Hz to 20,000 Hz**

Use in Music

  • Tuning standards (e.g., A₄ = 440 Hz)
  • Frequency analysis (e.g., equalizers, spectrograms)
  • Synthesizers and digital audio tools
