Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The unit of measurement called a hertz (Hz), which is technically one cycle per second, is used to measure clock speed. In the case of computer clock speed, one hertz equals one tick per second. The clock speed of computers is usually measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz).
Detailed explanation-2: -Clock speed is expressed in gigahertz-billions of cycles per second.
Detailed explanation-3: -The speed (“clock time”) of a CPU is measured in hertz. A hertz is defined as one cycle per second.
