Understanding Frequency Conversion

What is a Kilohertz (kHz)?

A kilohertz represents 1,000 cycles per second and is commonly used to measure audio frequencies, radio frequencies, and other electronic signals. The prefix 'kilo' denotes a factor of 1,000 in the metric system.

What is a Hertz (Hz)?

Hertz is the standard unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI). One hertz equals one cycle per second, making it fundamental for measuring everything from sound waves to processor speeds.

Common Applications

  • Audio frequencies (20 Hz - 20 kHz human hearing range)
  • Radio broadcasting (AM: 535-1605 kHz, FM: 88-108 MHz)
  • Computer processor speeds (measured in GHz)
  • Musical instrument tuning (A4 = 440 Hz)
