kilohertz [kHz] to megahertz [MHz] Converter
How to Convert kilohertz to megahertz
1 kHz = 0.001 MHz
1 MHz = 1000 kHz
Example: convert 10 kHz to MHz:
10 kHz = 10 x 0.001 = 0.01 MHz
kilohertz
Definition: A kilohertz (symbol: kHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one thousand (1000) hertz (Hz). The hertz, in turn, is the SI unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.
History/origin: The kilohertz is derived from the hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves. The prefix 'kilo-' denotes a factor of 10<sup>3</sup>, adhering to the SI system of units.
Current use: Kilohertz is used to measure frequencies in the range of audio signals, radio waves (particularly AM radio), and some computer hardware components. It is a common unit in electronics, telecommunications, and signal processing.
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.
