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.

Gigahertz (GHz) - Definition and Overview

What is Gigahertz?

Gigahertz is a measure of frequency equal to one billion cycles per second. Gigahertz can be abbreviated as GHz.

Summary

  • Gigahertz (GHz) is a unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billion hertz (1 GHz = 10^9 Hz)
  • It is commonly used to measure frequencies in microwave communications, radar systems, and other high-frequency applications.

How to Convert Hertz to Gigahertz?

1 Hertz is equal to 0.000000001 Gigahertz. To convert Hertz to Gigahertz, use this simple formula:

Gigahertz = Hertz x 0.000000001

So, just multiply the number of Hertz by 0.000000001 to get equivalent value in Gigahertz.

Example 1:

Convert 5 Hertz to Gigahertz
5 x 0.000000001 = 0.000000005 Gigahertz

Example 2:

Convert 7.5 Hertz to Gigahertz
7.5 x 0.000000001 = 0.0000000075 Gigahertz
