What does 1 kilohertz represent?

One kilohertz equals 1,000 hertz or 1,000 cycles per second, often used in audio and radio frequency contexts.

How is gigahertz used in technology?

Gigahertz measures frequency at one billion cycles per second and is used in wireless communication, radar, microwave systems, and digital electronics.

Why might converted values from kHz to GHz be very small?

Because 1 kHz is much smaller than 1 GHz, converting results in tiny decimal numbers that require careful handling.
