Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert RPM to hertz?

Divide by 60. 60 RPM = 1 revolution per second = 1 Hz.

What is the wavelength of a frequency?

The distance a wave travels in one cycle: λ = c/f, where c is the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s).

What is the range of human hearing?

Roughly 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Frequencies above that are ultrasound.

How do I convert MHz to Hz?

Multiply by 1,000,000. FM radio around 100 MHz is 100 million Hz.

Practical Example

Convert an FM radio signal of 98.7 MHz to hertz: 98.7 × 1,000,000 = 98,700,000 Hz. You can also find its wavelength with λ = c ÷ f.

  • Wavelength = 299,792,458 ÷ 98,700,000 ≈ 3.04 meters
  • 98.7 MHz ÷ 1,000 = 98,700 kHz
  • Formula: Hz = MHz × 1,000,000

What Your Results Mean

  • Hertz (Hz) — cycles per second, the SI unit of frequency.
  • kHz / MHz / GHz — multiples of 1,000; used for audio, radio and wireless bands.
  • RPM / BPM — revolutions or beats per minute; 60 RPM = 1 Hz.
  • Wavelength — the distance a wave covers in one cycle: λ = c/f.
