Gigahertz (GHz)

Definition

A gigahertz (GHz) is a unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000 hertz (one billion cycles per second).

History

The gigahertz became common in the late 1990s and early 2000s as computer processor clock speeds surpassed 1 GHz. It also gained importance with the expansion of microwave and satellite communication systems.

Current use

Gigahertz is the standard unit for modern computer processor speeds, Wi-Fi frequencies (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands), 5G cellular networks, radar systems, and satellite communications.

Revolutions per minute (RPM)

Definition

Revolutions per minute (RPM) is a unit of rotational frequency measuring the number of complete turns around a fixed axis in one minute. 1 RPM equals 1/60 Hz.

History

RPM has been used since the Industrial Revolution to describe the speed of rotating machinery such as steam engines, turbines, and motors. It became the standard measure for engine and motor performance.

Current use

RPM is universally used in automotive engineering (engine speed), manufacturing (lathe and drill speeds), hard drive specifications, centrifuge operations, and any application involving rotational motion.
