What does 1 picohertz represent?

1 picohertz equals 10⁻¹² hertz, representing one cycle per trillion seconds, often used for very low-frequency geophysical and astrophysical phenomena.

What is a petahertz used for?

Petahertz is a high-frequency unit representing 10¹⁵ cycles per second, commonly used in optics, ultrafast laser science, and high-frequency spectroscopy.

Why is picohertz to petahertz conversion useful?

It helps relate extremely low-frequency events in geophysics and astrophysics to ultrahigh-frequency contexts in photonics, enabling cross-disciplinary understanding of frequency extremes.
