Key Terminology
-
Megahertz [MHz]
-
A frequency unit equal to 10^6 hertz, measuring millions of cycles per second, commonly used in radio and communication signals.
-
Picohertz [pHz]
-
A frequency unit equal to 10^-12 hertz, representing extremely low-frequency oscillations occurring over millions of years in geophysical and astrophysical contexts.
