Nanohertz (nHz) - Definition and Overview

What is Nanohertz?

Nanohertz is a measure of frequency equal to one billionth(1/1000000000) of a cycle per second. Nanohertz can be abbreviated as nHz.

Summary

  • Nanohertz (nHz) is a unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billionth of a hertz (1 nHz = 10^-9 Hz)
  • It is used to measure very low frequencies, typically in fields such as geophysics and astronomy where extremely slow periodic phenomena are observed.

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.

How to Convert Nanohertz to Hertz?

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

Hertz = Nanohertz x 0.000000001

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

Example 1:

Convert 5 Nanohertz to Hertz
5 x 0.000000001 = 0.000000005 Hertz

Example 2:

Convert 7.5 Nanohertz to Hertz
7.5 x 0.000000001 = 0.0000000075 Hertz
