terahertz [THz] to gigahertz [GHz] Converter

Quick Reference

1 terahertz (THz) = 1000 gigahertz (GHz)

1 gigahertz (GHz) = 0.001 terahertz (THz)

How to Convert terahertz to gigahertz

1 THz = 1000 GHz
1 GHz = 0.001 THz

To convert terahertz to gigahertz, multiply the value by 1000. To convert gigahertz back to terahertz, divide by 1000.

Example: convert 10 THz to GHz:
10 THz = 10 x 1000 = 10000 GHz

↔ Convert gigahertz to terahertz

terahertz

Definition: A terahertz (symbol: THz) is a unit of frequency equal to one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) hertz (Hz). The hertz, in turn, is the SI unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.

History/origin: The terahertz is derived from the hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz. The prefix 'tera-' denotes a factor of 10<sup>12</sup>, adhering to the SI system of units.

Current use: Terahertz radiation, or T-rays, is used in emerging technologies such as medical imaging, security screening, and materials science. Terahertz frequencies fill the gap between microwaves and infrared light, offering unique capabilities in sensing and spectroscopy, although widespread applications are still under development.

gigahertz

Definition: A gigahertz (symbol: GHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one billion (1,000,000,000) hertz (Hz). The hertz, in turn, is the SI unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.

History/origin: The gigahertz is derived from the hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves. The prefix 'giga-' denotes a factor of 10<sup>9</sup>, adhering to the SI system of units.

Current use: Gigahertz is primarily used to measure the clock speeds of modern computer processors, the frequencies of wireless communication technologies (e.g., 5G cellular networks), and radar systems. It represents very high-frequency signals and operations.

Common pairs of Frequency

terahertz [THz] to gigahertz [GHz] Converter

What is 1 THz in GHz?
1 terahertz (THz) equals 1,000 GHz, and 1 GHz equals 0.001 THz.
How do I convert terahertz to gigahertz?
Multiply by 1,000: 10 THz × 1,000 = 10,000 GHz. The converter above does it for any value, with the precision you choose.
What is 100 THz in GHz?
100 THz = 100,000 GHz. Common amounts are listed on this page, each with its own step-by-step page.
Is a terahertz bigger than a gigahertz?
Yes. 1 THz = 1,000 GHz, so the same quantity becomes a larger number when written in GHz.
