How to Convert Seconds to Picoseconds
To convert from seconds (s) to picoseconds (ps), you multiply the number of seconds by 1,000,000,000,000. This is because 1 second is equal to 1,000,000,000,000 picoseconds.
Formula
Picoseconds = Seconds × 1,000,000,000,000
or
ps = s × 1,000,000,000,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in seconds
- Multiply that number by 1,000,000,000,000
- The result is the equivalent time in picoseconds
Examples
- 1 s = 1 × 1,000,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000 ps
- 2 s = 2 × 1,000,000,000,000 = 2,000,000,000,000 ps
Frequently Asked Questions
How many picoseconds are in a second?
There are 1,000,000,000,000 picoseconds in one second.
What is a picosecond?
A picosecond is a unit of time equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a second. It is used in fields requiring extremely precise timing, such as ultrafast laser physics and high-speed electronics.
