Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 attohertz represent?
-
1 attohertz corresponds to a frequency of 10⁻¹⁸ hertz, meaning it describes an oscillation that occurs once every 10¹⁸ seconds, a timescale relevant for extremely slow cosmological or astronomical phenomena.
-
What is the proton Compton wavelength?
-
The proton Compton wavelength is a quantum length scale associated with the proton, defined using Planck's constant, proton mass, and the speed of light. It indicates the scale at which relativistic quantum effects become significant.
-
Why convert from attohertz to proton Compton wavelength?
-
Converting from attohertz to proton Compton wavelength helps connect very slow frequency oscillations seen in large-scale cosmology to fundamental quantum length scales used in particle physics and quantum field theory.
Key Terminology
-
Attohertz [aHz]
-
An SI-derived unit of frequency equal to 10⁻¹⁸ hertz, measuring cycles per second at an extremely low rate, often used to describe very slow cosmological oscillations.
-
Proton Compton wavelength
-
The quantum mechanical wavelength characteristic to the proton, defined by Planck's constant divided by the product of proton mass and speed of light, representing the scale of relativistic quantum effects.
-
Conversion rate
-
The factor quantifying how many proton Compton wavelengths equal one attohertz frequency, approximately 2.2687 × 10^41 proton Compton wavelengths per attohertz.
