like a fluorescent lamp. The number of times the screen is refreshed per second is called
vertical frequency, or refresh rate, and is represented by Hz.
y
Horizontal Frequency: The time it takes to display one horizontal line is called the horizontal cycle. If 1 is di-
vided by the horizontal interval, the result is the number of horizontal lines displayed per second. This is called
horizontal frequency and is represented by kHz.
