Unit Description
Kilohertz (kHz)
Definition
A kilohertz (kHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one thousand hertz (10³ Hz). It represents moderate frequencies commonly found in audio applications, low-frequency radio, and various electronic systems.
History
The kilohertz became important with the development of audio technology and early radio communications. It provided a convenient scale for describing audio frequencies and low-frequency radio waves, becoming essential in the development of broadcasting and audio equipment.
Current Use
Kilohertz is extensively used in audio engineering, AM radio broadcasting, audio equipment specifications, and low-frequency electronic applications. It's standard for describing audio frequency ranges, AM radio frequencies, and various audio processing equipment.
Millihertz (mHz)
Definition
A millihertz (mHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one thousandth of a hertz (0.001 Hz). It represents very low frequencies found in extremely slow oscillations, geological processes, and some biological rhythms.
History
The millihertz became necessary for describing extremely slow periodic phenomena in scientific research. It was particularly important in geophysics, astronomy, and biological studies where natural cycles occur over very long time periods.
Current Use
Millihertz is used in geophysics for seismic wave analysis, astronomy for stellar oscillations, biological research for circadian rhythms, and precision timing applications. It's essential for measuring very slow natural cycles and long-period oscillations.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Kilohertz to Millihertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 1e+6 mHz
- Conversion Formula: mHz = kHz × 1e+6
- Calculation: 1 kHz × 1e+6 = 1e+6 mHz
Convert 10 Kilohertz to Millihertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 1e+6 mHz
- Conversion Formula: mHz = kHz × 1e+6
- Calculation: 10 kHz × 1e+6 = 1e+7 mHz
Convert 100 Kilohertz to Millihertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 1e+6 mHz
- Conversion Formula: mHz = kHz × 1e+6
- Calculation: 100 kHz × 1e+6 = 1e+8 mHz
Convert 1,000 Kilohertz to Millihertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 1e+6 mHz
- Conversion Formula: mHz = kHz × 1e+6
- Calculation: 1,000 kHz × 1e+6 = 1e+9 mHz
