One hertz is one cycle per second, meaning repeating cycle as an event. For example, hertz is applied physics measuring the number of times for a second wave (either acoustic or electromagnetic) is repeated or can be applied, among other uses, to ocean waves that reach the Beach vibrations per second or a solid. The quantity that measures the frequency hertz is called,in this regard, the inverse of the period. One hertz is an oscillation frequency of suffering a particle over a period of one second.

A tachometer is a device that measures the speed of rotation of a shaft, usually the rotational speed of an engine. It is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). Currently most commonly they used digital tachometers, for its greater accuracy.

It is called an rpm (revolution per minute) to the unit that is used to express the angular velocity. It is the number of complete turns a body gives around an axis.
