How to convert hertz to seconds
To calculate the time interval (seconds) of a frequency in hertz, divide 1 by the frequency. E.g. for a frequency of 10 Hz your time interval would be 1/10 = 0.1 seconds.
Frequency is measured in hertz with 1 hertz (Hz) being equivalent to 1 cycle per second. The formula to calculate frequency (hertz) from a number of seconds is:
Frequency (Hz) = cycles / seconds
To calculate the time duration of one complete cycle, divide one second by the frequency in hertz:
Seconds = 1 / frequency (Hz)
How many seconds are in a hertz?
One hertz equals one cycle per second: 1 hz = 1 cycle/sec.
The following are conversions from hertz to seconds for a duration of one cycle.
| Hertz | Seconds | Cycles Per Second |
|---|---|---|
| 1 hz | 1 second | 1 cycle/sec |
| 2 hz | 0.5 seconds | 2 cycles/sec |
| 3 hz | 0.3333 seconds | 3 cycles/sec |
| 4 hz | 0.25 seconds | 4 cycles/sec |
| 5 hz | 0.2 seconds | 5 cycles/sec |
| 6 hz | 0.1667 seconds | 6 cycles/sec |
| 7 hz | 0.1429 seconds | 7 cycles/sec |
| 8 hz | 0.125 seconds | 8 cycles/sec |
| 9 hz | 0.1111 seconds | 9 cycles/sec |
| 10 hz | 0.1 seconds | 10 cycles/sec |
| 20 hz | 0.05 seconds | 20 cycles/sec |
| 30 hz | 0.0333 seconds | 30 cycles/sec |
| 40 hz | 0.025 seconds | 40 cycles/sec |
| 50 hz | 0.02 seconds | 50 cycles/sec |
| 60 hz | 0.0167 seconds | 60 cycles/sec |
