This tool calculates period in nanosecond (ns) from the frequency in Hertz (Hz).
Enter the frequency in Hz.
Formula
The period T is the inverse of frequency f
T (seconds) = 1/f (Hz)
T (nanoseconds) = [1/f (Hz)]*109
Since
1 s = 1,000,000,000 ns
T (nanoseconds) = 1,000,000,000/f (Hz)
Example Calculations
- A frequency value of 50 Hz is equivalent to 20,000,000 ns
- A frequency of 100 Hz is equivalent to 10,000,000 ns
Understanding Frequency and Period
Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is commonly measured in hertz (Hz), with one hertz equal to one cycle per second. Higher frequencies are often measured in kilohertz (kHz), megahertz (MHz), or gigahertz (GHz).
Period is the duration of one complete cycle of a repeating event, and it is the reciprocal of the frequency. It is measured in units of time such as seconds, milliseconds (ms), microseconds (µs), or nanoseconds (ns).
