Conversion Process
This conversion uses Hertz as the base unit. We'll first convert Kilohertz to Hertz, then convert from Hertz to Hertz.
Step 1: Convert from Kilohertz to Hertz
1 × 1,000 = 1,000
Result: 1,000 Hertz
Step 2: Convert from Hertz to Hertz
1,000 × 1 = 1,000
Result: 1,000 Hertz
Direct Conversion Factor
1 × 1,000 = 1,000
Direct conversion: 1 Kilohertz = 1,000 Hertz
Kilohertz (kHz)
System: SI
Definition:1 kilohertz = 10³ hertz.
Origin: Derived from the hertz and the SI prefix "kilo-".
Common Usage: Widely used for audio frequencies, radio waves (AM band), and clock speeds in older or simpler electronic devices.
Synonyms: kilocycle per second, kcps
