Frequency Converter

Convert frequency units including Hz, kHz, MHz, and GHz. Useful for radio, audio, and electronics.

Applications

Convert radio frequencies for antenna and RF design, translate audio sample rates and musical pitch references (A4 = 440 Hz), calibrate motor RPM in mechanical engineering, work with rad/s in physics and control systems, and explore optical THz and visible-light frequencies in photonics.

The Conversion

All conversions route through Hertz (Hz) as the base unit. Each unit has a toBase factor (Hz equivalent) and a fromBase factor (inverse). For example, 1 MHz × 1,000,000 = 1,000,000 Hz, then ÷ 1,000,000 when expressing in MHz cancels out. The same pipeline correctly converts 1 MHz → 1,000,000 Hz → 1,000 kHz.

Fun Fact: The lowest frequency audible to the human ear is around 20 Hz, and the highest is roughly 20,000 Hz — a range of only ten octaves. Visible light, by comparison, oscillates around 500,000,000,000,000 Hz (500 THz), about 25 million times higher than the highest note on a piano.
