Unit Description
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.
Revolutions per Minute (rpm)
Definition
Revolutions per minute (rpm) is a unit of rotational frequency representing the number of complete rotations around a fixed axis in one minute. It's one of the most common units for measuring rotational speed in mechanical systems.
History
RPM became standard with the development of mechanical machinery during the Industrial Revolution. It provided an intuitive way to measure and specify rotational speeds for engines, motors, and machinery, becoming universally adopted in mechanical engineering.
Current Use
RPM is extensively used in automotive engines, electric motors, machinery, and mechanical systems. It's standard for engine specifications, motor ratings, turntable speeds, and virtually all rotating mechanical equipment specifications.

- Conversion Formula: rpm = THz × 6e+13
- Calculation: 1 THz × 6e+13 = 6e+13 rpm
Convert 10 Terahertz to Revolutions per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 THz = 6e+13 rpm
- Conversion Formula: rpm = THz × 6e+13
- Calculation: 10 THz × 6e+13 = 6e+14 rpm
Convert 100 Terahertz to Revolutions per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 THz = 6e+13 rpm
- Conversion Formula: rpm = THz × 6e+13
- Calculation: 100 THz × 6e+13 = 6e+15 rpm
Convert 1,000 Terahertz to Revolutions per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 THz = 6e+13 rpm
- Conversion Formula: rpm = THz × 6e+13
- Calculation: 1,000 THz × 6e+13 = 6e+16 rpm
