Responses
the distance that one cycle of a wave will travel
the distance that one cycle of a wave will travel
the number of waves that pass a certain point within a certain time
the number of waves that pass a certain point within a certain time
the length of a wave over a specified length of time
the length of a wave over a specified length of time
the number of vibrations produced per minute

The correct option that best describes hertz is "the number of waves that pass a certain point within a certain time".
Hertz (Hz) is a unit of frequency, which measures how many times a wave completes a full cycle in one second. It represents the number of oscillations or cycles per second. For example, if a wave completes 10 cycles in one second, it has a frequency of 10 Hz.
To measure frequency in hertz, you need to count the number of wave cycles that pass a certain point within a specific duration of time, usually one second. By measuring this, you can determine the frequency of the wave in hertz.
The option that best describes hertz is:
- the number of waves that pass a certain point within a certain time.
