Conversion formula
1 kHz = 1,000 Hz
1 Hz = 0.001 kHz
Example: 1000000000 kHz = 1,000,000,000,000 Hz
Kilohertz
One kilohertz is equal to 1000 hertz.
History: Kilohertz is common for audio and low-frequency electronics.
Current use: Used for audio, sensors, communications, and instrumentation.
Also written as kHz, kilohertz.
Hertz
Hertz measures cycles per second.
History: The hertz is named after Heinrich Hertz and is the SI unit of frequency.
Current use: Used for waves, electronics, optics, sound, radio, computing, and periodic phenomena.
Also written as Hz, hertz, cycles per second.
