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 20 kHz to µs:
  1. Convert to hertz: 20 kHz = 20 × 1000 = 20000 Hz
  2. Apply formula: T = 1 / 20000 Hz = 5.0e-5 seconds
  3. Convert to microseconds: 5.0e-5 s / 1.0e-6 = 20000 µs

Reverse Conversion

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

  • 20000 µs → f = 1 / 5.0e-5 s = 20000 Hz → 20 kHz
