==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Kilohertz''' ('''kHz''') are a [[unit]] of [[frequency]] 1,000 times larger than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Hertz]].
===About Kilohertz===
: '''Kilohertz''' are shortened to '''kHz''' with a lower case k and an upper case '''Hz'''.
: [[Kilo]] means one thousand so there are 1,000 [[Hertz]]s in a [[kilohertz]].
