megahertz
Million cycles per second
Megahertz is a unit of frequency equal to one million cycles per second, used especially to measure radio waves and computer processor speeds.
Abbreviated MHz.
A processor running at 500 megahertz executes 500 million cycles per second.
The old radio operated on 88 megahertz.
