message: Can the pages Megahertz, Kilohertz etc be more than stubs?
Should we redirect them here, where we can put a list of SI multiples? -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarquin (talk • contribs) 12:26, 28 December 2002 (UTC)
replies: text: No. I think we should also have picohertz, yottahertz etc. Just kidding. It might be useful think about consolidating all these SI pages so that the article is at the preferred SI standard with all the other prefixed stuff redirecting to it. Hm. That would mean that gram would redirect to kilogram, kilometre to metre, square kilometre to square metre etc. --— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mav (talk • contribs) 12:44, 28 December 2002 (UTC)

text: Megahertz should be left as-is, whereas the rest (e.g. Kilohertz) should simply be merged into Hertz.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.92.168.179 (talk) 17:45, 4 March 2004 (UTC)

message: Anybody know why in "kHz", the "k" is lower case, whereas in "MHz" the "M" is upper?

replies: text: The SI system of numbers has k (or kilo) as the prefix for 1000, m (or micro)as the prefix for a millionth and  M (or Mega) as the prefix for a 1,000,000. So that MHz is 1,000,000 Hz and mHz is 1/1,000,000Hz. See Kilo.  Tiles 06:31, 27 January 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Common usage has capital K for kilo in all sorts of scientific uses, to conform to a 'nonstandard' of capitals=greater, lowercase=lesser. I always thought the unit name spelled out was capitalised 'Hertz', but I was wrong. – Rich 22:16, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This made me scream, even moreso that nobody has pointed out the error. m is milli, not micro and is for a thousandth. micro is denoted by a mu. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Capubadger (talk • contribs) 11:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

text: as far as I know, the only standard (although not common) prefix for 1024 is Ki . K is more commonm but not standard. see Binary_prefix for more. -- CyrilB 13:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The bottom light should blink with 2 Hz, but one full on-off cycle takes 1 second, so it is actually 1 Hz. The definition of Hertz is for full cycles, not half cycles, so while it is true that the light is on for 0.5 seconds, that doesn't make the frequency 2 Hz.
