How to Convert megahertz to kilohertzkilohertz
1 MHz = 1000 kHz
1 kHz = 0.001 MHz
Example: convert 24 MHz to kHz:
24 MHz = 24 x 1000 = 24000 kHz
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 10^6, 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.
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 10^3, 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.
