Did You Know?

The Schumann resonance — Earth's electromagnetic 'heartbeat' caused by lightning strikes — oscillates at about 7.83 Hz. Some researchers have claimed links to human brain alpha waves, though evidence is limited.

Ultrasound machines use frequencies between 2 and 18 MHz. At these frequencies, wavelengths in tissue are less than 1 mm, enabling detailed medical imaging.

A typical modern CPU runs at 3–5 GHz, completing 3–5 billion transistor switching cycles per second. In 1971, the first Intel 4004 processor ran at just 740 kHz.

The visible light spectrum spans roughly 430–770 THz (terahertz). Violet light vibrates almost twice as fast as red light — which is why violet bends more in a prism.

Frequently Asked Questions — Frequency

How many Hz are in a kilohertz?
Exactly 1,000 Hz = 1 kHz. AM radio stations broadcast in the kHz range (530–1,700 kHz).
How many Hz are in a megahertz?
Exactly 1,000,000 Hz = 1 MHz. FM radio is 87.5–108 MHz. Wi-Fi operates at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
What is the human hearing range?
Humans can typically hear 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). Below 20 Hz is infrasound; above 20 kHz is ultrasound. Hearing range decreases with age.
What is the frequency of household electrical current?
The Americas use 60 Hz. Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia use 50 Hz. The frequency determines how often AC current reverses direction per second.
What is a gigahertz (GHz)?
1 GHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz (1 billion cycles per second). Modern CPUs run at 3–5 GHz. Wi-Fi bands are 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
How is frequency related to wavelength?
For electromagnetic waves: wavelength = speed of light ÷ frequency. A 100 MHz FM signal has a wavelength of ~3 m. Higher frequency = shorter wavelength.
What frequency is middle C?
Middle C (C4) in standard pitch is 261.63 Hz. Concert A (A4) is exactly 440 Hz — the international standard tuning frequency.
