Did you know? Medical ultrasound is 5,800,000 Hz.

Medical ultrasound imaging uses 2-18 MHz. Higher frequencies give better resolution but less penetration.

How to Convert Megahertz to Hertz

1 megahertz = 1000000 hertz

Hertz = Megahertz × 1000000

Example: 5 MHz × 1000000 = 5000000 Hz

Reverse Conversion

To convert hertz back to megahertz:

  • Remember, 1 hertz equals 1 × 10-6 megahertz.
  • To convert 5000000 Hz to MHz, multiply 5000000 x 1 × 10-6, resulting in 5 MHz.

5 MHz is also equal to:

About these units

Megahertz: SI decimal multiple of hertz; 1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz = 10⁶ Hz

Hertz: SI unit of frequency; one cycle (or event) per second. Symbol: Hz = s⁻¹
