How to Convert millihertz to gigahertzgigahertz

1 mHz = 1e-12 GHz
1 GHz = 1000000000000 mHz

Example: convert 73 mHz to GHz:
73 mHz = 73 x 1e-12 = 7.299999999999999e-11 GHz

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^-3, 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.

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 10^9, 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.
