Hertz is used to measure frequency ie the number of times per second that something happens. Its commonest uses are to measure the number of oscillations/sec of electric currents or radio waves and the processing speed of computers.

frequency 1 Hz = 1 /s i.e. frequency measures the number of time something occurs per second. Your clocks second hand goes around 1/60 th of the circle in 1 second, hence its frequency of rotation is 1/60 Hz. A sound wave might oscillate 50...

A transformer will not change the frequency of the input. If that's all it is, just a transformer, then the output will be whatever the input is. If it's a DC-AC convertor - like the sort you connect a car battery to that gives out AC mains...
