Hertz (Hz) - Definition and Overview

What is Hertz?

Hertz is defined as the frequency equalling one cycle per second. The hertz is the SI derived unit for frequency in the metric system. Hertz can be abbreviated as Hz.

Summary

  • Hertz (Hz) is the standard unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), defined as one cycle per second
  • It is widely used across various fields including physics, engineering, and music to measure the frequency of periodic phenomena such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves, and mechanical vibrations.

Centihertz (cHz) - Definition and Overview

What is Centihertz?

Centihertz is a measure of frequency equal to one by hundredth(1/100) of a cycle per second. Centihertz can be abbreviated as cHZ.

Summary

  • Centihertz (cHz) is a unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one hundredth of a hertz (1 cHz = 10^-2 Hz)
  • It is used to measure relatively low frequencies, often in specialized scientific and engineering applications.

How to Convert Hertz to Centihertz?

1 Hertz is equal to 100 Centihertz. To convert Hertz to Centihertz, use this simple formula:

Centihertz = Hertz x 100

So, just multiply the number of Hertz by 100 to get equivalent value in Centihertz.

Example 1:

Convert 5 Hertz to Centihertz
5 x 100 = 500 Centihertz

Example 2:

Convert 7.5 Hertz to Centihertz
7.5 x 100 = 750 Centihertz
