What does hectohertz measure?

Hectohertz is a unit of frequency equal to 100 hertz, used to quantify cycles or periodic events per second.

What types of applications use petahertz?

Petahertz is used in applications involving extremely high-frequency oscillations such as ultrafast optics, spectroscopy, and laser physics.

Why are the converted values so small?

Because petahertz measures frequencies 10^15 times higher than hertz, converting from hectohertz results in very small numerical values.
