Hertz (Hz) and kilohertz (kHz) are units of frequency. They represent how often something happens in a second.
The Hertz is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as one cycle per second. It is named after Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, the first person to provide conclusive proof of the existence of electromagnetic waves.
In various contexts, it can represent any periodic event. For example, in electronics, it might represent the frequency of an alternating current. In sound, it represents the pitch.
A kilohertz is equal to one thousand hertz. So, 1 kHz is equivalent to 1,000 Hz. Kilohertz is commonly used to describe radio frequencies and also audio frequencies in some contexts. For instance, the standard range for human hearing is often quoted as 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
1Hz = 0.001kHz
or
1kHz = 1000Hz
f(kHz) = f(Hz) / 1000
Example – Convert 300 hertz to kilohertz:
Ans. f(kHz) = 300Hz / 1000 = 0.3kHz
| Hertz (Hz) | Kilohertz (kHz) |
| 0 Hz | 0 kHz |
| 1 Hz | 0.001 kHz |
| 10 Hz | 0.01 kHz |
| 100 Hz | 0.1 kHz |
| 1000 Hz | 1 kHz |
To convert Hz to kHz, you divide the number of Hz by 1,000. Formula: kHz = Hz ÷ 1,000.
Yes, 1 kHz is equivalent to 1,000 Hz.
32 kHz is equal to 32,000 Hz.
1 kHz (kilohertz) represents 1,000 cycles per second, or 1,000 Hz.
Hertz (Hz) measures the frequency of an event, usually given as the formula: Hz = Number of cycles / Total time taken in seconds.
1 Hz represents one cycle per second.
1 hertz means that an event repeats once every second.
To convert hertz to another unit, you use a conversion factor. For example, to convert Hz to kHz, you divide by 1,000. Conversely, to convert kHz to Hz, you multiply by 1,000.
