Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a petahertz (PHz)?
-
A petahertz is a unit of frequency equal to 10^15 hertz used to measure very high oscillation rates such as in ultrafast optics.
-
In what situations is converting from petahertz to millihertz useful?
-
This conversion is helpful to connect ultrafast high-frequency phenomena with very low-frequency events, aiding analysis across a broad spectrum.
-
Why might large numbers result from this conversion?
-
Because petahertz and millihertz differ by 10^18, converting between them generates very large values requiring careful computation.
Key Terminology
