Key Stage 3
Meaning
Hertz are the scientific units for measuring frequency.
About Hertz
- Hertz are abbreviated with the letters Hz.
- 1Hz is one wave passing a point every second.
- 2Hz is two waves passing a point every second.
- 0.5Hz is only half a wave passing in one second.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Hertz (Hz) are the SI Unit for frequency.
About Hertz
- Hertz are shortened to an upper case Hz.
Converting to Hertz
| Unit | To convert | Hertz |
| 1 megahertz (1MHz) | Convert to Hertz x106 | 1x106Hz |
| 1 kilohertz (1kHz) | Convert to Hertz x103 | 1x103Hz |
| 1 Hertz (1Hz) | Convert to Hertz x1 | 1Hz |
| 1 millihertz 1(mHz) | Convert to Hertz x10-3 | 1x10-3Hz |
| 1 microhertz 1(µHz) | Convert to Hertz x10-6 | 1x10-6Hz |
| 1 nanohertz 1(nHz) | Convert to Hertz x10-9 | 1x10-9Hz |
