Understanding and converting between different frequency units is essential in fields like physics, electronics, telecommunications, and audio engineering. This frequency converter provides a simple and intuitive interface for accurately converting between various frequency units, including standard SI units, submultiples, rotational speed, and even wavelength equivalents.
Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz is equal to one cycle per second. Frequency plays a vital role in determining the behavior of sound waves, electromagnetic waves, and alternating currents.
This converter supports a comprehensive range of units, making it ideal for academic, engineering, and research purposes.
Hertz (Hz) – Standard unit of frequency.
Kilohertz (kHz) – Common in audio frequencies.
Megahertz (MHz) – Used in radio broadcasting and microprocessors.
Gigahertz (GHz) – Standard in computing and radar technologies.
Terahertz (THz), Petahertz (PHz), Exahertz (EHz) – Used in optical and quantum sciences.
Millihertz (mHz)
Microhertz (µHz)
Nanohertz (nHz)
Picohertz (pHz)
Femtohertz (fHz)
Attohertz (aHz)
These units are helpful in extremely low-frequency applications, such as geological or astronomical studies.
Cycles per second (cycle/s) – Identical to Hertz.
Revolutions per minute (rpm) – Common in mechanical and rotational systems.
You can also convert frequency to the corresponding wavelength, using the speed of light in a vacuum for accurate calculation. Available wavelength outputs include:
Meters (m)
Centimeters (cm)
Millimeters (mm)
Nanometers (nm)
Compton wavelengths of subatomic particles:
Electron
Proton
Neutron
This feature is particularly useful in quantum physics and photonics.
