The dimension of the unit hertz is 1/time (T−1). Expressed in base SI units, the unit is the reciprocal second (1/s). In English, "hertz" is also used as the plural form.<a href="#cite_note-6">[5]</a> As an SI unit, Hz can be <a href="/wiki/Metric_prefix" title="Metric prefix">prefixed</a>; commonly used multiples are kHz (kilohertz, 103 Hz), MHz (megahertz, 106 Hz), GHz (gigahertz, 109 Hz) and THz (terahertz, 1012 Hz). One hertz (i.e. one per second) simply means "one periodic event occurs per second" (where the event being counted may be a complete cycle); 100 Hz means "one hundred periodic events occur per second", and so on. The unit may be applied to any periodic event—for example, a clock might be said to tick at 1 Hz, or a human heart might be said to <a href="/wiki/Heart_rate" title="Heart rate">beat</a> at 1.2 Hz.

Electromagnetic radiation with frequencies in the low terahertz range (intermediate between those of the highest normally usable radio frequencies and long-wave infrared light) is often called <a href="/wiki/Terahertz_radiation" title="Terahertz radiation">terahertz radiation</a>. Even higher frequencies exist, such as that of <a href="/wiki/X-ray" title="X-ray">X-rays</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gamma_ray" title="Gamma ray">gamma rays</a>, which can be measured in exahertz (EHz).
