Answer:
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).

The measurement unit for the speed of a computer is the clock speed of the central processing unit is referenced in terms of hertz.
- In a computer it is very important for the signal to remain precisely constant.
- A crystal oscillator, is a circuit that provides a clock signal which determines the computer's clock speed that is the speed at which the computer completes one cycle.
- So, a CPU at 1 GHz is completing 1 billion cycles per second carrying out 1 billion programming instructions.
