“Hertz” (Hz) and “terahertz” (THz) are units of frequency, specifically how often a periodic event occurs within a second. They are named in honor of Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves.
One hertz means that an event repeats once per second. For example, if a pendulum swings back and forth once every second, its frequency is 1 Hz.
Terahertz is a multiple of the unit hertz and represents one trillion cycles per second. 1 THz = 1,000,000,000,000 Hz or 1012 Hz.
1Hz = 10-12THz
or
1THz = 1012Hz
f(THz) = f(Hz) / 1012
Example – Convert 300 hertz to terahertz
Ans. f(THz) = 300Hz / 1012 = 3×10-10THz
| Hertz (Hz) | Terahertz (tdz) |
| 0 Hz | 0 tdz |
| 1 Hz | 10-12 tdz |
| 10 Hz | 10-11 tdz |
| 100 Hz | 10-10 tdz |
| 1000 Hz | 10-9 tdz |
| 10000 Hz | 10-8 tdz |
| 100000 Hz | 10-7 tdz |
| 1000000 Hz | 10-6 tdz |
| 10000000 Hz | 10-5 tdz |
| 100000000 Hz | 10-4 tdz |
| 1000000000 Hz | 10-3 tdz |
| 10000000000 Hz | 10-2 tdz |
| 100000000000 Hz | 10-1 tdz |
| 1000000000000 Hz | 1 tdz |
1 THz (Terahertz) is equal to 1 trillion hertz or 10^12 Hz.
1 Hz stands for one cycle per second and is the base unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI).
The wavelength (λ) of a frequency is inversely proportional to its frequency and can be found using the formula: λ = c / f, where c is the speed of light (~299,792,458 meters per second). For 1 THz, the wavelength is approximately 0.3 millimeters.
Terahertz (THz) is a multiple of the unit hertz (Hz). 1 Terahertz is equal to 1 trillion hertz.
Yes, 1 Hz is much smaller than 1 THz. 1 THz is equivalent to 10^12 Hz.
400 THz to 700 THz refers to a range of frequencies. This range is significant because it corresponds to the visible light spectrum.
Using the formula λ = c / f, where c is the speed of light, the wavelength for 10 THz is approximately 0.03 millimeters or 30 micrometers.
The SI unit for measuring frequency is the hertz (Hz). Terahertz (THz) is a derived metric prefix which stands for 10^12 hertz.
