Frequently Asked Questions
-
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.
