What does kilohertz represent?

Kilohertz is a frequency unit equal to 1,000 cycles per second, commonly used in audio, radio, and electronics.

What contexts use petahertz frequencies?

Petahertz units apply to ultrafast optics, high-frequency spectroscopy, and studies of ultraviolet light and electron dynamics.

Why are petahertz values so small when converted from kilohertz?

Because petahertz is 10^15 times larger than hertz, converting kilohertz to petahertz results in very small numbers.
