Terahertz to Cycles per second Converter

1 terahertz (THz) equals 1,000,000,000,000 cycles per second (cps).

Quick answer

  • 1 terahertz = 1,000,000,000,000 cycles per second
  • 1 cycle per second = 1 × 10-12 terahertz
  • Formula: cps = THz × 1,000,000,000,000

1 terahertz = 1,000,000,000,000 cycles per second

How to convert terahertz to cycles per second

cps = THz × 1,000,000,000,000

To convert terahertz to cycles per second, multiply the number of terahertz by 1,000,000,000,000.

Example: 10 THz to cps

  1. Start with the value in terahertz: 10 THz.
  2. Multiply by 1,000,000,000,000: 10 × 1,000,000,000,000 = 10,000,000,000,000.
  3. Result: 10 terahertz = 10,000,000,000,000 cycles per second.

Going the other way, 1 cycle per second = 1 × 10-12 terahertz, so to convert cycles per second back to terahertz you divide by the same number. See cycles per second to terahertz.

What is a cycle per second?

Cycles per second was the name for the hertz before the SI adopted "hertz" in 1960; older radio and electronics books use cps and kc (kilocycles).
