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
