Frequency rate of oscillatory and vibratory phenomena, such as mechanical vibrations, audio signals (sound), radio waves, and light. For cyclical processes, such as rotation, oscillations, or waves, frequency is defined as a number of cycles per unit time. In physics and engineering disciplines, such as optics, acoustics, and radio, frequency is usually denoted by a Latin letter "f" or by the Greek letter "formula_1" or "ν" (nu) (see e.g. Planck's formula). The relation between the frequency and the period formula_2of a repeating event or oscillation is given by The SI derived unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz), named after the
Inch per second Inch per second The inch per second is a unit of speed or velocity. It expresses the distance in inches ("in") traveled or displaced, divided by time in seconds ("s", or "sec"). The equivalent SI unit is the metre per second. Abbreviations include in/s, in/sec, ips, and less frequently in s. 1 inch per second is equivalent to: 1 metre per second ≈ 39.370079 inches per second (approximately)<br> 1 foot per second = 12 inches per second (exactly)<br> 1 mile per hour = 17.6 inches per second (exactly)<br> 1 kilometre per hour ≈ 10.936133 inches per second (approximately) In magnetic
