About Frequency Unit Converter

Frequency is a measure of the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. In physics and engineering, it is often associated with wave propagation, such as mechanical vibrations, audio signals, radio waves, and light.

Common Frequency Units

  • Hertz (Hz): The base unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI). One hertz means one cycle per second.
  • Kilohertz (kHz): Equal to 1,000 Hz. Often used for audio frequencies.
  • Megahertz (MHz): Equal to 1,000,000 Hz. Common in radio and processor clock speeds.
  • Gigahertz (GHz): Equal to 1,000,000,000 Hz. Used for microwave frequencies and modern computer processors.
  • Terahertz (THz): Equal to 1,000,000,000,000 Hz. Used in some cutting-edge technologies and scientific applications.
  • Radians per second (rad/s): Angular frequency unit, where 1 Hz = 2π rad/s.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between frequency units, use these formulas:

  • 1 kHz = 1,000 Hz
  • 1 MHz = 1,000 kHz = 1,000,000 Hz
  • 1 GHz = 1,000 MHz = 1,000,000 kHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz
  • 1 THz = 1,000 GHz = 1,000,000 MHz = 1,000,000,000 kHz = 1,000,000,000,000 Hz
  • 1 Hz = 2π rad/s

Our frequency unit converter uses these relationships to quickly and accurately convert between different frequency units, making it easier for you to work with various frequency measurements in your calculations or projects.
