The SI unit for period is the second. For counts per unit of time, the SI unit for frequency is hertz (Hz), named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz; 1 Hz means that an event repeats once per second.A previous name for this unit was cycles per second (cps).or each dot, f is the frequency in hertz (Hz) â meaning the number of times per second (i.e. cycles per second) that it flashes â while T is the flashes' period in seconds (s), meaning the number of seconds per cycle. Each T and f are reciprocal.
