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.
Terahertz (THz)
Definition
A terahertz (THz) is a unit of frequency equal to one trillion hertz (10¹² Hz). It represents extremely high frequencies typically found in infrared radiation, molecular vibrations, and advanced telecommunications research.
History
The terahertz became important with the development of advanced spectroscopy and telecommunications research in the late 20th century. It was particularly crucial for describing frequencies in the 'terahertz gap' between microwave and infrared radiation, opening new fields in materials science and medical imaging.
Current Use
Terahertz frequencies are used in advanced spectroscopy, medical imaging, security scanning, materials research, and cutting-edge telecommunications. They're essential for terahertz imaging systems, molecular spectroscopy, and research into next-generation wireless communications.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Kilohertz to Terahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 1e-9 THz
- Conversion Formula: THz = kHz ÷ 1e+9
- Calculation: 1 kHz ÷ 1e+9 = 1e-9 THz
Convert 10 Kilohertz to Terahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 1e-9 THz
- Conversion Formula: THz = kHz ÷ 1e+9
- Calculation: 10 kHz ÷ 1e+9 = 1e-8 THz
Convert 100 Kilohertz to Terahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 1e-9 THz
- Conversion Formula: THz = kHz ÷ 1e+9
- Calculation: 100 kHz ÷ 1e+9 = 1e-7 THz
Convert 1,000 Kilohertz to Terahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 1e-9 THz
- Conversion Formula: THz = kHz ÷ 1e+9
- Calculation: 1,000 kHz ÷ 1e+9 = 0.000001 THz
