The '''inverse second''' or '''reciprocal second''' ('''s⁻¹'''), also called '''''per second''''', is a [[unit of measurement|unit]] defined as the [[multiplicative inverse]] of the [[second]] (a unit of [[time]]). It is applicable for [[physical quantities]] of [[dimension (physics)|dimension]] '''reciprocal time''', such as [[frequency]] and [[strain rate]].
