Identify the correct statement :
1 hertz is one oscillation per second
Frequency is the number of complete oscillations (vibrations) made by a wave in one second, and its correct SI unit is hertz (Hz), not decibel.
By definition, 1 hertz equals one oscillation (one complete cycle of vibration) per second, so this statement is accurate.
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a vibrating particle from its mean position and is measured in units of length (such as metres), not in hertz.
Decibel (dB) is the unit used to express the loudness or intensity level of sound, and it is not a measure of the number of vibrations per second.
Hence, the correct statement is that one hertz is one oscillation per second.
