megahertz [MHz] to hertz [Hz] Converter
Quick Reference
1 megahertz (MHz) = 1000000 hertz (Hz)
1 hertz (Hz) = 1.0000e-6 megahertz (MHz)
How to Convert megahertz to hertz
1 MHz = 1000000 Hz
1 Hz = 1.0000e-6 MHz
To convert megahertz to hertz, multiply the value by 1000000. To convert hertz back to megahertz, divide by 1000000.
Example: convert 10 MHz to Hz:
10 MHz = 10 x 1000000 = 10000000 Hz
megahertz
Definition: A megahertz (symbol: MHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one million (1,000,000) hertz (Hz). The hertz, in turn, is the SI unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.
History/origin: The megahertz is derived from the hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves. The prefix 'mega-' denotes a factor of 10<sup>6</sup>, adhering to the SI system of units.
Current use: Megahertz is commonly used to measure frequencies in radio broadcasting (e.g., FM radio), television signals, wireless communication (e.g., Wi-Fi), and the clock speeds of computer processors. It is a standard unit in telecommunications, computing, and electronics.
hertz
Definition: Hertz (symbol: Hz) is the SI unit of frequency, defined as the number of cycles per second of a periodic phenomenon. One hertz is equivalent to one cycle or event per second.
History/origin: The hertz is named after Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist who proved the existence of electromagnetic waves in the late 19th century. The unit was adopted as a standard unit for frequency in the 20th century.
Current use: Hertz is widely used across various fields to measure frequency, including radio waves, audio signals, computer processing speeds, alternating current (AC) electricity, and any oscillating or repeating phenomenon. It's a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and technology.
