minus-squareTeckFire@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-211 months agoI feel like a dumbass I totally read your comment as “Megahertz or Millihertz” Now I realize it should just be Meters•Herts or m•Hz
minus-squarepsud@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 months agoStanding alone ‘m’ is metre. With a decimal modifier ahead of it, ‘m’ is metre Immediately before a symbol it is milli (one thousandth) mm - the first m is before the metre symbol, it is the milli multiplier, the second m is after a multiplier, so it is the symbol for metre mHz - the m is before the symbol Hz (for Hertz) so it is the milli multiplier km - the m is after the K (kilo, thousand times) multiplier, so it is metre You probably spell metre ‘meter’, but a meter is a whole different word in English
minus-squareunlucky@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 months agoBy convention, compound SI units (e.g. N•m) are separated by a space or multiplication dot and are not just smashed together. The lack of such a separator in the above example implies the “milli” prefix.
minus-squarefrunch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoCan Hertz be imperial or are they strictly metric?

I have no idea if this is meterhertz or millihertz
yes
nHz is Nanohertz 1/1,000,000,000 Hz (Billionth)
µHz is Microhertz 1/1,000,000 Hz (Millionth)
mHZ is Millihertz 1/1,000 Hz (Thousandth)
Hz is Hertz 1 Hz (Base Unit, one per second)
kHz is Kilohertz 1,000 Hz (Thousand)
MHz is Megahertz 1,000,000 Hz (Million)
GHz is Gigahertz 1,000,000,000 Hz (Billion)
THz is Terahertz 1,000,000,000,000 Hz (Trillion)
