Why convert from microhertz to petahertz?

This conversion helps bridge frequency scales between low-frequency phenomena like geophysical oscillations and high-frequency optical signals such as ultraviolet light.

What scientific fields use microhertz or petahertz units?

Microhertz is common in geophysics, seismology, and astrophysics, while petahertz is used in ultrafast optics, spectroscopy, and high-frequency material studies.

Is the conversion between µHz and PHz frequently used in practice?

Because of the enormous scale difference, direct frequent conversions are uncommon and mostly serve computational or symbolic purposes.
