What does dekahertz measure?

Dekahertz is a unit of frequency representing cycles per second equal to ten hertz and is used to describe signals in the tens of hertz range.

Why convert dekahertz to centihertz?

Converting to centihertz allows expressing frequencies with finer resolution, useful for analyzing slow or low-frequency oscillations.

What fields commonly use this conversion?

Geophysics, oceanography, power-system engineering, mechanical vibration analysis, space physics, and climate studies often use this conversion.
