Interactive terahertz to hertz conversion tool

The THz to Hz converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert terahertz to hertz. Simply enter the number of terahertz you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in hertz.

What is the conversion factor between terahertz and hertz?

A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. It represents the ratio (or fraction) that expresses the relationship between two different units. A conversion factor is always equal to 1.

The relationship between terahertz and hertz is 1e+12, such as:

Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1e+12 hertz for every terahertz, and for every hertz, there are 11e+12 terahertz (1e-12 THz).

To convert from terahertz to hertz, we turn our formula into a conversion factor that is equal to 1.

Both these fractions are equal to 1. The numerator and the denominator are equivalent, they are just expressed in different units.

Because we are converting from terahertz to hertz, we will use the first fraction: 1e+12 Hz1 THz so that terahertz are canceled out. We then multiply the value in terahertz by this fraction to get the result in hertz (see example).

Note that THz is in the denominator (bottom) of the conversion factor. This is important, you always want to have the unit you are converting from at the bottom and the unit you are converting to in the numerator (top).

You will find below how to use this ratio to convert from THz to Hz. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from terahertz to hertz is:

Which is bigger, a terahertz or a hertz?

When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a terahertz or an hertz. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.

• 1 THz = 1e+12 Hz
• 1e+12 hertz is bigger than 1 hertz.
• 1 terahertz is, therefore, bigger than 1 hertz.
• To be more specific, a hertz is 1e+12 times smaller than a terahertz.

How to convert terahertz to hertz?

Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.

For example:

• 13 x 1 = 13
• 429 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 429

Multiplying by 1 is the first step in any unit conversion problem. The second step is to replace the number 1 with the conversion factor that is also equal to 1.

For example, if we want to convert 10 terahertz into hertz we multiply 10 THz by the conversion factor of 1e+12 Hz1 THz

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, terahertz are canceled out and we get the result in hertz. And since the conversion factor is equal to 1, multiplying it with the original value won't change its magnitude and will only change its unit.

Based on this, we can conclude that 10 terahertz are equal to 1e+13 hertz.

Remember:

• When converting from terahertz to hertz, we use 1e+12 Hz1 THz as a conversion factor.

Once you are confident you can convert terahertz to hertz, there is no harm then in taking full advantage of the tools available to you.

How to convert 49 terahertz to hertz?

We multiply 49 by the factor of 1

We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for terahertz to hertz

We multiply 49 terahertz by the conversion factor. Having terahertz in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (THz) leaving only hertz in the final result.

Answer: There are 4.9e+13 hertz in 49 terahertz

How many hertz are in 900 terahertz?

Multiply 900 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (THz) is in the denominator.

This allows us to cancel out the terahertz (THz) and leave the hertz (Hz)

Answer: There are 9e+14 hertz in 900 terahertz
