Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does microhertz measure?
-
Microhertz measures very low-frequency oscillations, corresponding to one millionth of a hertz, commonly used in geophysics and astrophysics.
-
What is the proton Compton wavelength?
-
The proton Compton wavelength is a quantum length scale defined by Planck’s constant divided by the product of proton mass and the speed of light, indicating particle-level wavelength characteristics.
-
Why is the conversion factor so large?
-
Because the proton Compton wavelength represents a subatomic quantum scale, converting low frequencies in microhertz results in extremely large equivalent quantum wavelength values.
