Hertz

Hz

Definition

The Hertz is the SI base unit of frequency, representing one cycle per second. It is named after Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist who made important contributions to the study of electromagnetic waves. The hertz is used to measure the frequency of periodic phenomena in physics, electronics, and telecommunications.

History/Origin

The hertz was adopted as the SI unit of frequency in 1960, replacing the older unit "cycles per second." It was named after Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894), who was the first to conclusively prove the existence of electromagnetic waves. Hertz's experiments in the 1880s demonstrated that electromagnetic waves could be generated and detected, laying the foundation for radio technology.

Current Use

Widely used in electronics, telecommunications, radio broadcasting, computer processors, and scientific research. It measures the frequency of alternating current, radio waves, sound waves, and other periodic phenomena. Essential for understanding resonance, harmonics, and wave behavior in various physical systems.

Wavelength in Micrometres

µm

Definition

The Wavelength in Micrometres is a unit of frequency equal to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of one micrometre (10^-6 meters). It represents frequencies in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, corresponding to wavelengths in the micrometre range.

History/Origin

The wavelength in micrometres unit was established as part of the SI system to handle wavelengths encountered in infrared communications and cosmology. It represents frequencies that are in the infrared range, corresponding to wavelengths in the micrometre range.

Current Use

Used in infrared communications, cosmology, and studies of the early universe where such wavelengths may have existed. It is relevant for understanding the behavior of matter and energy under extreme conditions and for studying cosmic phenomena that produce infrared frequency electromagnetic radiation.
