Formula: GHz = MHz รท 1,000
Examples:
- 1,000 MHz = 1 GHz
- 2,400 MHz = 2.4 GHz (WiFi)
- 3,500 MHz = 3.5 GHz (CPU)

- Cordless phones: Many use 2.4 GHz
- Zigbee/IoT devices: Often 2.4 GHz
Pros: Good range, better wall penetration Cons: Crowded band, more interference
How do I convert MHz to Hz?
Formula: Hz = MHz ร 1,000,000
Examples:
- 1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz
- 100 MHz = 100,000,000 Hz
- 2.4 MHz = 2,400,000 Hz
- 0.5 MHz = 500,000 Hz = 500 kHz
What is FM radio frequency range?
FM Radio Band: 88-108 MHz (in most countries)
Variations by region:
- USA/Canada: 88.1-107.9 MHz (non-commercial starts at 88.1)
- Europe: 87.5-108 MHz
- Japan: 76-95 MHz (different band entirely)
- Eastern Europe/Russia: 65.8-74 MHz (also 88-108)
Channel spacing:
- USA: 200 kHz (0.2 MHz) - channels 0.2 MHz apart
- Europe: 100 kHz (0.1 MHz) - twice as many stations possible
Why FM?:
- Better sound quality than AM
- Less interference
- Stereo capable
- "FM" = Frequency Modulation (varies frequency to encode audio)
How do I convert MHz to kHz?
Formula: kHz = MHz ร 1,000
Examples:
- 1 MHz = 1,000 kHz
- 0.5 MHz = 500 kHz
- 100 MHz = 100,000 kHz
- 2.4 MHz = 2,400 kHz
About Radians per Second (rad/s)
How do I convert rad/s to Hz?
Formula: Hz = rad/s รท (2ฯ)
Examples:
- 2ฯ rad/s = 1 Hz
- 6.28 rad/s โ 1 Hz
- 377 rad/s = 60 Hz (US power frequency)
- 314 rad/s = 50 Hz (European power frequency)
Reverse: rad/s = Hz ร 2ฯ
What is 2ฯ rad/s?
2ฯ rad/s = 1 Hz = 1 cycle per second
This is the key relationship:
- One complete cycle = 2ฯ radians = 360 degrees
- So 2ฯ rad/s = one full rotation per second
- = 1 Hz
- = 60 RPM
Example:
- Object rotating at 2ฯ rad/s completes exactly 1 full rotation every second
How do I convert rad/s to RPM?
Formula: RPM = rad/s ร (60/2ฯ) โ rad/s ร 9.549
Examples:
- 1 rad/s = 9.55 RPM
- 10 rad/s = 95.5 RPM
- 100 rad/s = 955 RPM
Reverse: rad/s = RPM ร (2ฯ/60) โ RPM ร 0.1047
Derivation:
- 1 revolution = 2ฯ radians
- 1 minute = 60 seconds
- So: rad/s โ rev/s โ rev/min
- rad/s ร (1 rev / 2ฯ rad) ร (60 s / 1 min) = rad/s ร 60/(2ฯ) RPM
What is 377 rad/s?
377 rad/s = 60 Hz (US electrical power frequency)
Calculation: ฯ = 2ฯf = 2ฯ ร 60 โ 376.99 rad/s
This is the angular frequency of:
- AC power in North America
- 60 Hz electrical systems
- Standard wall outlet frequency (in angular terms)
Used in electrical engineering for AC circuit calculations, phasor analysis, and impedance.
When should I use rad/s instead of Hz?
Use rad/s when:
- Doing physics/engineering calculations
- Working with differential equations
- Analyzing AC circuits
- Using transfer functions
- Calculating angular displacement
- Working with phasors
Use Hz when:
- Describing oscillation rate to general audience
- Specifying radio frequencies
- Measuring audio frequencies
- General frequency specifications
- Non-technical contexts
Why rad/s in calculations?
- Simplifies formulas: x = A sin(ฯt) instead of x = A sin(2ฯft)
- Direct angular displacement: ฮธ = ฯt
- Natural for calculus: dx/dt, dยฒx/dtยฒ
What's the difference between rad/s and degrees/s?
Conversion: 1 rad/s = 180/ฯ deg/s โ 57.296 deg/s
Radians (rad/s):
- Mathematical standard
- Used in calculus and physics
- 2ฯ rad = one full rotation
- Natural for trigonometric functions
Degrees (deg/s):
- Intuitive for visualization
- 360ยฐ = one full rotation
- Common in navigation, astronomy
- Easier for non-technical communication
Example:
- 1 rad/s = 57.3 degrees per second
- ฯ rad/s = 180 degrees per second
- 2ฯ rad/s = 360 degrees per second = 1 revolution per second
For engineering and physics calculations, use rad/s.
