Key Stage 3
Meaning
Hertz are the scientific units for measuring frequency.
About Hertz
- Hertz are abbreviated with the letters Hz.
- 1Hz is one wave passing a point every second.
- 2Hz is two waves passing a point every second.
- 0.5Hz is only half a wave passing in one second.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Hertz (Hz) are the SI Unit for frequency.
About Hertz
- Hertz are shortened to Hz with an upper case H and a lower case z.
