Converting from Terrahertz (THz) to Hertz (Hz) | Frequency

What is Terrahertz (THz)

Terrahertz (THz) is a unit of measurement used to quantify frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum. It represents one trillion hertz (Hz). Terrahertz waves fall between microwaves and infrared radiation.

What is Hertz (Hz)

Hertz (Hz) is the standard unit of frequency and is used to measure the number of cycles per second in a wave. It is named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz and is commonly used to describe oscillations, vibrations, and waves.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Terrahertz (THz) to Hertz (Hz) and vice versa, you can use the following formulas:

• To convert THz to Hz:
  Frequency (Hz)=Frequency (THz)×1012
• To convert Hz to THz:
  Frequency (THz)=1012Frequency (Hz)​

Examples

1. Converting 5 THz to Hz:
   5THz=5×1012Hz=5000000000000Hz
2. Converting 7 Hz to THz:
   7Hz=10127​THz=0.000000000007THz

In summary, Terrahertz (THz) and Hertz (Hz) are units of frequency used to measure wave cycles per second. Converting between the two units involves multiplying or dividing by a factor of 1012 to account for the different magnitudes.
