Nanohertz
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Nanohertz (nHz) are a unit of frequency 1,000,000,000 times smaller than the SI Unit; the Hertz.
About Microhertz
- Nanohertz are shortened to nHz with a lower case n, an upper case H and a lower case z.
- Nano means one billionth so there are 1,000,000,000 nanohertzs in a Hertz.
