Convert between Kilohertz and Hertz with step-by-step calculations.
Unit Information
Kilohertz (kHz)
A metric unit of frequency equal to one thousand hertz.
System: SI
Hertz (Hz)
The SI derived unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.
System: SI
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
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
