Megahertz to Beats per Minute Converter

A megahertz (MHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one million hertz (10⁶ Hz). It represents high frequencies commonly used in radio communications, early computer systems, and various electronic applications.

The megahertz became important with the development of radio technology in the early 20th century. It was essential for describing radio frequency bands and became widely known through radio broadcasting, later extending to early computer systems and electronic devices.

Megahertz is widely used in radio broadcasting (AM/FM radio), early computer specifications, electronic circuits, and various communication systems. It's standard for radio frequency allocations, older processor speeds, and many electronic device specifications.

Beats per minute (BPM) is a unit of frequency specifically used to measure the tempo of music and heart rate. It represents the number of beats occurring in one minute, providing a standard measure for rhythm and cardiac monitoring.

BPM developed with the formalization of musical tempo measurement and medical heart rate monitoring. It became the universal standard for describing musical tempo and cardiac rhythm, providing consistent measurement across music and medical applications.

BPM is universally used in music for tempo specification, medical monitoring for heart rate, fitness applications, and rhythm-based activities. It's standard for musical compositions, cardiac monitoring equipment, fitness trackers, and dance/exercise programs.
