Gigahertz
Gigahertz
according to my text book "10^9 cycles per second. "
... billion cycles per second.
GHz is Giga Hertz which is 1 billion cycles per second. Normally used as an electronic frequency in computers and radio wave transmissions.
A cycle per second is a Hertz, abbreviated Hz. Therefore, a billion cycles per second (assuming an American, or "short scale", billion) is a Gigahertz (GHz).
Yes, 1 gigahertz is 1 billion cycles per second
The prefix giga- usually refers to a multiplying factor of one billion; a gigahertz is one billion cycles per second.
1 Gigahertz (GHz) is equal to 1 billion cycles per second.
A light wave completes a billion cycles in one second.
No, one Hz (Hertz) is equal to one cycle per second. To convert to one million cycles per second, you would need one MHz (Megahertz).
GHz is an abbreviation used to represent gigahertz. Hertz is the speed of the cycles often used for microprocessors. Gigahertz just refers to one billion cycles per second.
The number of cycles a wave passes a stationary point in one second is called the frequency of the wave. It is measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz is equivalent to one cycle per second.
