Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a dekahertz (daHz)?
-
A dekahertz is an SI-derived frequency unit equal to 10 hertz, often used to describe low-frequency vibrations and power system harmonics.
-
What does the neutron Compton wavelength represent?
-
It represents the quantum wavelength linked to a neutron's rest mass, serving as a scale at which relativistic effects and particle creation are significant.
-
Why convert from dekahertz to neutron Compton wavelength?
-
To relate classical frequency measurements to fundamental quantum scales relevant in neutron scattering and precision metrology.
