kilohertz [kHz] to millihertz [mHz] Converter
Quick Reference
1 kilohertz (kHz) = 1000000 millihertz (mHz)
1 millihertz (mHz) = 1.0000e-6 kilohertz (kHz)
How to Convert kilohertz to millihertz
1 kHz = 1000000 mHz
1 mHz = 0.000001 kHz
To convert kilohertz to millihertz, multiply the value by 1000000. To convert millihertz back to kilohertz, divide by 1000000.
Example: convert 10 kHz to mHz:
10 kHz = 10 x 1000000 = 10000000 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.
millihertz
Definition: A millihertz (mHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a hertz (Hz). The hertz, in turn, is the SI unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.
History/origin: The millihertz is derived from the hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves. The prefix 'milli-' denotes a factor of 10<sup>-3</sup>, adhering to the SI system of units.
Current use: Millihertz is used to measure very low frequencies, often encountered in fields like geophysics (e.g., measuring seismic waves), biology (e.g., measuring slow biological rhythms), and some areas of electronics and signal processing where extremely slow oscillations or events are analyzed.
