Unit Description
Megahertz (MHz)
Definition
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.
History
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.
Current Use
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.
Revolutions per Second (rps)
Definition
Revolutions per second (rps) is a unit of rotational frequency representing the number of complete rotations around a fixed axis in one second. It provides a more direct relationship to the hertz unit for rotational measurements.
History
RPS developed as a scientific alternative to RPM, providing a direct conversion to hertz (1 rps = 1 Hz for rotational motion). It became important in scientific and engineering applications where SI units were preferred over traditional mechanical units.
Current Use
RPS is used in scientific applications, high-speed machinery, precision instruments, and engineering calculations where direct conversion to hertz is beneficial. It's found in centrifuge specifications, high-speed motor ratings, and scientific equipment.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Megahertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 MHz = 1e+6 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = MHz × 1e+6
- Calculation: 1 MHz × 1e+6 = 1e+6 rps
Convert 10 Megahertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 MHz = 1e+6 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = MHz × 1e+6
- Calculation: 10 MHz × 1e+6 = 1e+7 rps
Convert 100 Megahertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 MHz = 1e+6 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = MHz × 1e+6
- Calculation: 100 MHz × 1e+6 = 1e+8 rps
Convert 1,000 Megahertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 MHz = 1e+6 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = MHz × 1e+6
- Calculation: 1,000 MHz × 1e+6 = 1e+9 rps
