Unit Description
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.
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 Revolutions per Second to Terahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 rps = 1e-12 THz
- Conversion Formula: THz = rps ÷ 1e+12
- Calculation: 1 rps ÷ 1e+12 = 1e-12 THz
Convert 10 Revolutions per Second to Terahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 rps = 1e-12 THz
- Conversion Formula: THz = rps ÷ 1e+12
- Calculation: 10 rps ÷ 1e+12 = 1e-11 THz
Convert 100 Revolutions per Second to Terahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 rps = 1e-12 THz
- Conversion Formula: THz = rps ÷ 1e+12
- Calculation: 100 rps ÷ 1e+12 = 1e-10 THz
Convert 1,000 Revolutions per Second to Terahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 rps = 1e-12 THz
- Conversion Formula: THz = rps ÷ 1e+12
- Calculation: 1,000 rps ÷ 1e+12 = 1e-9 THz
