“Hertz” (Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as one cycle per second. It is used to measure the frequency of waves, such as sound waves, radio waves, and alternating current in electric circuits.
“Gigahertz” (GHz) is a derived metric unit of frequency equal to one billion Hertz (cycles per second). “Giga” is a prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of a billion (109 or 1,000,000,000).
1Hz = 10-9GHz
or
1GHz = 109Hz = 1000000000Hz
f(GHz) = f(Hz) / 109
Example – Convert 300 hertz to gigahertz:
Ans. f(GHz) = 300Hz / 109 = 3×10-7GHz
| Hertz (Hz) | Gigahertz (GHz) |
| 0 Hz | 0 GHz |
| 1 Hz | 10-9 GHz |
| 10 Hz | 10-8 GHz |
| 100 Hz | 10-7 GHz |
| 1000 Hz | 10-6 GHz |
| 10000 Hz | 10-5 GHz |
| 100000 Hz | 10-4 GHz |
| 1000000 Hz | 10-3 GHz |
| 10000000 Hz | 10-2 GHz |
| 100000000 Hz | 10-1 GHz |
| 1000000000 Hz | 1 GHz |
1 GHz (gigahertz) is equal to 1,000,000,000 Hz (hertz) or 1,000 MHz (megahertz).
No, they are not the same. 1 GHz is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 Hz. GHz represents one billion cycles per second, while Hz represents one cycle per second.
To convert a frequency given in Hz to GHz, divide the frequency by 1,000,000,000. To convert from MHz to GHz, divide the frequency by 1,000.
300 GHz is equal to 300,000,000,000 Hz or 300,000 MHz.
Yes, 2500 MHz is the same as 2.5 GHz.
2.5 GHz is equal to 2,500 MHz or 2,500,000,000 Hz.
Yes, 2.4 GHz is a frequency, often associated with Wi-Fi networks and some wireless devices.
