What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you transform frequency values measured in centihertz (cHz) to millihertz (mHz). Both units are used to quantify very low-frequency oscillations, especially in scientific fields like geophysics, helioseismology, and instrumentation.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the frequency value in centihertz (cHz) in the input field.
-
Select centihertz as the input unit and millihertz (mHz) as the output unit.
-
Click convert to get the corresponding value in millihertz.
Key Features
-
Converts frequency from centihertz to millihertz accurately based on standard unit definitions.
-
Supports understanding of unit definitions and common scientific applications.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output formats.
Examples
-
Converting 2 centihertz results in 20 millihertz.
-
Converting 0.5 centihertz gives 5 millihertz.
Common Use Cases
-
Describing very low-frequency oscillations in geophysics and oceanography.
-
Specifying modulation or sampling rates in control and instrumentation systems.
-
Analyzing long-period seismic waves and Earth normal modes in seismology.
-
Reporting solar acoustic oscillations in helioseismology studies.
-
Measuring ultra-low-frequency periodic noise in sensors and timing systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the unit selected matches the frequency range relevant to your application.
-
Use the conversion to align with standard measurement units in scientific research.
-
Consider the context of the data when choosing the appropriate unit for reporting.
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on the precision of very low-frequency measurements.
-
Appropriate unit choice should be considered based on instrumentation or analysis needs.
Frequently Asked Questions

Conversion helps represent very low-frequency signals with finer detail or to match units common in various scientific fields.
Key Terminology
-
Centihertz [cHz]
-
A frequency unit equal to 0.01 hertz, indicating the number of cycles per second at hundredth of a hertz resolution.
-
Millihertz [mHz]
-
A frequency unit equal to one thousandth of a hertz, used to describe very low-frequency phenomena.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The factor used to translate values between centihertz and millihertz, specifically 1 cHz equals 10 mHz.
