Cycle per Second

cps

Definition

The Cycle per Second is a unit of frequency equal to one hertz, representing one complete cycle of a periodic phenomenon per second. It is an older unit that was commonly used before the adoption of the hertz as the SI unit of frequency, and it is still used in some contexts where the concept of "cycles" is more intuitive than "hertz."

History/Origin

The cycle per second unit was widely used in early electronics and radio technology before the adoption of the hertz as the SI unit of frequency. It represents the intuitive concept of counting the number of complete cycles of a periodic phenomenon that occur in one second, making it easy to understand and visualize.

Current Use

Still used in some contexts where the concept of "cycles" is more intuitive than "hertz," particularly in audio engineering, electronics, and educational settings. It is equivalent to the hertz but may be preferred in certain applications where the cyclical nature of the phenomenon is emphasized.

Petahertz

PHz

Definition

The Petahertz is a unit of frequency equal to 10^15 hertz, representing very high frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. It corresponds to wavelengths in the femtometer range and is used in advanced physics research, particularly in studies of high-energy gamma rays and theoretical particle physics applications.

History/Origin

The petahertz unit was established as part of the SI system to handle very high frequency values encountered in modern physics and astronomy. It represents frequencies that are 15 orders of magnitude higher than the base hertz unit, corresponding to extremely short wavelengths and very high photon energies.

Current Use

Used in high-energy physics research, gamma-ray astronomy, and theoretical studies of particle interactions. It is relevant for understanding the behavior of matter under extreme conditions and for studying cosmic phenomena that produce very high-frequency electromagnetic radiation.
