Frequently Asked Questions
Q.How do you convert between Hz, kHz, MHz, and GHz?
Frequency units scale by powers of 1,000: 1 kHz = 1,000 Hz, 1 MHz = 1,000 kHz (10⁶ Hz), and 1 GHz = 1,000 MHz (10⁹ Hz).
Q.How does frequency (Hz) relate to period (seconds)?
Frequency is the reciprocal of time period: f = 1 / T. A signal with a frequency of 100 Hz has a period of 0.01 seconds (10 milliseconds).
Q.How do you convert frequency to wavelength?
Divide the wave propagation speed (such as the speed of light c ≈ 299,792,458 m/s for radio waves) by the frequency in hertz: λ = c / f.
Q.What frequency ranges are used for FM radio, Wi-Fi, and CPUs?
FM radio broadcasts operate around 88–108 MHz, standard Wi-Fi networks run at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and modern computer processors run between 2 GHz and 5+ GHz.
