Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the exact conversion rate from gigahertz to terahertz?
-
1 gigahertz (GHz) equals 0.001 terahertz (THz).
-
Why would I convert frequency measurements from GHz to THz?
-
Converting to terahertz allows expression of frequencies suitable for spectroscopy, imaging, and advanced wireless research where finer spectral resolution is required.
-
Do GHz and THz frequencies relate to different electromagnetic wave properties?
-
Yes, terahertz frequencies correspond to shorter wavelengths and are used for different physical applications than gigahertz frequencies.
