The '''inverse second''', '''reciprocal second''', or '''per second''' (s⁻¹) is a unit of [[frequency]], defined as the [[multiplicative inverse]] of the [[second]] (a unit of time). It is [[dimensional analysis|dimensionally]] equivalent to:

* [[Hertz]] (the SI unit for periodic [[cycles per second]])

* [[Becquerel]]s (the SI unit for aperiodic or stochastic ''[[radioactivity|radionuclide]]'' events per second)

It also provides the [[denominator]] for a [[Ratetemporal (mathematics)|rate]]s, thesuch mostas importantthat of which[[angular arefrequency]] thein following:[[radians per second]].

* [[Cycles per second]]

* [[Radians per second]]
