Hertz to Kilohertz (Hertz to Kilohertz)
Result
0.001 Kilohertz
Formula
Kilohertz = Hertz × 0.001
1 Hertz = 0.001 Kilohertz, and 1 Kilohertz = 1,000 Hertz.
Frequency units are SI prefixes of the hertz (one cycle per second). The bel is a base-10 logarithmic ratio; one bel is 10 decibels.
Worked examples
- 1 Hertz × 0.001 = 0.001 Kilohertz
- 10 Hertz × 0.001 = 0.01 Kilohertz
- 100 Hertz × 0.001 = 0.1 Kilohertz
Common mistakes
- Decibels are logarithmic: two 60 dB sources together make about 63 dB, not 120 dB.
- dB SPL, dB(A) and dBm use different reference values and weightings; they cannot be compared directly.
