What does cycle/second represent?

Cycle/second is a unit of frequency counting complete oscillations per second, equivalent to hertz (Hz), used to quantify periodic phenomena like waves and alternating currents.

When is the femtohertz unit used?

Femtohertz is used to describe extremely slow oscillations over multi-million-year timescales, often in geophysics, paleoclimatology, astronomy, and cosmology.

Why convert from cycle/second to femtohertz?

This conversion helps express frequencies in a much smaller unit to compare or scale signals ranging from everyday frequencies to those spanning vast temporal or cosmological intervals.
