This conversion tool will convert a frequency value into different measurement units and display conversion scale related to the converted value.
Frequency is used to measure physical actions that are cyclic in nature, that follow a pattern which repeats many times such as oscillations and rotational movement.
Frequency is typically defined as the number of cycle completed in a unit period of time, where the SI unit for frequency which is the Hertz equals 1 cycle per second.
In rotational motion other units are used such as revolutions per minute (rpm), radians per second (rad/s) and degrees per minute (deg/min).
Frequency Applications
Frequency is measured in many applications which include:
- Sound Waves
- Electromagnetism
- Electricity
- Light Waves
- Resonance
- Rotational Motion
