What does one dekahertz (daHz) represent?

One dekahertz equals 10 hertz or ten cycles per second and is used to measure frequencies in the tens of hertz range.

When is picohertz (pHz) commonly used?

Picohertz quantifies extremely low-frequency oscillations over very long periods, such as climate cycles lasting thousands of years or astrophysical phenomena.

Can I measure picohertz frequencies directly in real-time?

Direct measurement of picohertz frequencies is not practical because their periods span millions of years, so they are mainly used in theoretical or modeling contexts.
