Terahertz to Revolutions per Second Converter

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
