What does dekahertz measure?

Dekahertz (daHz) is an SI-derived unit of frequency equal to 10 hertz, used to measure cycles per second typically in the tens of hertz range.

When is attohertz used?

Attohertz (aHz) measures extremely low frequencies, often used in astronomy, cosmology, and theoretical physics for very slow oscillations or inverse timescales.

Why are converted numbers so large?

Because 1 dekahertz equals 10²⁰ attohertz, the scale difference results in conversions yielding very large numeric values.
