What is a femtohertz (fHz)?

A femtohertz is a unit of frequency equal to 10^-15 hertz, representing cycles per second and describing extremely slow oscillations occurring over multi-million-year timescales.

How is a decihertz (dHz) defined?

A decihertz is a unit of frequency equal to one tenth of a hertz (0.1 Hz), commonly used for phenomena with characteristic times around 10 seconds.

Why convert from femtohertz to decihertz?

This conversion helps translate extremely low-frequency phenomena from cosmology or geophysics into frequencies applicable to human-scale or geophysical events.

What is the formula to convert femtohertz to decihertz?

Multiply the femtohertz value by 1e-14 to get the equivalent frequency in decihertz.

Can this converter be used for real-time frequency measurements?

Due to the large scale difference, it is not typically used for real-time applications but rather for theoretical or analytical purposes.
