How to Convert terahertz to hertzhertz

1 THz = 1000000000000 Hz
1 Hz = 1e-12 THz

Example: convert 18 THz to Hz:
18 THz = 18 x 1000000000000 = 18000000000000 Hz

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 10^12, 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.

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.
