By convention, compound SI units (e.g. N•m) are separated by a space or multiplication dot and are not just smashed together. The lack of such a separator in the above example implies the “milli” prefix.
I think there’s something like 43/500ths of a Bigole Hertz to a regular Hertz; but that’s if you’re using English Bigoles. I think it’s 43.9/500ths for a US Bigole.
nHz is Nanohertz 1/1,000,000,000 Hz (Billionth)
µHz is Microhertz 1/1,000,000 Hz (Millionth)
mHZ is Millihertz 1/1,000 Hz (Thousandth)
Hz is Hertz 1 Hz (Base Unit, one per second)
kHz is Kilohertz 1,000 Hz (Thousand)
MHz is Megahertz 1,000,000 Hz (Million)
GHz is Gigahertz 1,000,000,000 Hz (Billion)
THz is Terahertz 1,000,000,000,000 Hz (Trillion)
I suppose there are probably more that I’m not aware of, but I hope this clears it up.
No, that absolutely does not resolve the confusion between meter (m) and milli (m)
I feel like a dumbass
I totally read your comment as “Megahertz or Millihertz”
Now I realize it should just be Meters•Herts or m•Hz
Standing alone ‘m’ is metre.
With a decimal modifier ahead of it, ‘m’ is metre
Immediately before a symbol it is milli (one thousandth)
mm - the first m is before the metre symbol, it is the milli multiplier, the second m is after a multiplier, so it is the symbol for metre
mHz - the m is before the symbol Hz (for Hertz) so it is the milli multiplier
km - the m is after the K (kilo, thousand times) multiplier, so it is metre
You probably spell metre ‘meter’, but a meter is a whole different word in English

Pretty sure kilo is lowercase, actually.
Son of a removed, you’re right lmao
Big K is Kelvins for temperature
Kelvinhertz
Sufficient Kelvins do hurt, I guess
Can Hertz be imperial or are they strictly metric?

I’m American and I’ve never seen any other unit used for frequency unless you count adjectives like “daily”.
I usually just rent from Enterprise. They pick you up!
RPM (revolutions per minute) is an old rotational measure
But the second is the same in both systems so I wouldn’t be surprised if America called revs per second “Hertz”
