Unit Information
Hertz (Hz)
The SI derived unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.
System: SI
Kilohertz (kHz)
A metric unit of frequency equal to one thousand hertz.
System: SI
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Hertz as the base unit. We'll first convert Hertz to Hertz, then convert from Hertz to Kilohertz.
Step 1: Convert from Hertz to Hertz
1 × 1 = 1
Result: 1 Hertz
Step 2: Convert from Hertz to Kilohertz
1 × 0.001 = 0.001
Result: 0.001 Kilohertz
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 1,000 = 0.001
Direct conversion: 1 Hertz = 0.001 Kilohertz
Hertz (Hz)
System: SI
Definition:1 Hertz is equal to one cycle per second (1 Hz = 1 s⁻¹).
Origin: Named after German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz.
Common Usage: The standard unit of frequency used globally in science, technology, and daily life, for measuring cycles, oscillations, vibrations, and waves.
Synonyms: cycle per second, cycle/second, cycles per second, cycles/second, s⁻¹
