Frequency relates not only to sound, light, and radio but also to mechanical and electronic devices. In FM radio, frequency (MHz) determines the station. When buying a computer, the processor's clock speed (GHz) marks its computing power.
History & Background
In the 19th century, Heinrich Hertz experimentally confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves, laying the foundation for modern communications. In the 20th century, humanity could measure and control extremely high frequencies.
Conversion Details
