How to Convert Kilohertz to Microseconds

Frequency and period are inversely related. The formula is: T = 1 / f, where T is the period and f is the frequency.

Conversion Steps

  • The formula is: Period = 1 / Frequency
  • For example, to convert 120 kHz to µs:
  1. Convert to hertz: 120 kHz = 120 × 1000 = 120000 Hz
  2. Apply formula: T = 1 / 120000 Hz = 8.33333e-6 seconds
  3. Convert to microseconds: 8.33333e-6 s / 1.0e-6 = 120000 µs

Reverse Conversion

To convert microseconds back to kilohertz, use f = 1 / T:

  • 120000 µs → f = 1 / 8.33333e-6 s = 120000 Hz → 120 kHz
