Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 femtohertz represent in terms of frequency?
-
One femtohertz is a frequency equal to 10^-15 hertz, corresponding to cycles that occur once every 10^15 seconds, or about 31.7 million years.
-
What is the proton Compton wavelength?
-
It is the characteristic quantum wavelength associated with a proton, defined by the formula λ_p = h/(m_p c), representing a length scale where relativistic quantum effects become important.
-
Why would I convert femtohertz to proton Compton wavelength?
-
Converting femtohertz to proton Compton wavelength helps relate extremely low-frequency astrophysical or cosmological phenomena to fundamental quantum particle length scales for theoretical studies.
