Wavelength in Kilometres
km
Definition
The Wavelength in Kilometres is a unit of frequency equal to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of one kilometre (10^3 meters). It represents low frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum, corresponding to wavelengths that are 3 orders of magnitude larger than the base meter unit.
History/Origin
The wavelength in kilometres unit was established as part of the SI system to handle long wavelengths encountered in radio communications and cosmology. It represents frequencies that are 3 orders of magnitude lower than the base hertz unit, corresponding to wavelengths in the kilometre range.
Current Use
Used in radio communications, cosmology, and studies of the early universe where such long wavelengths may have existed. It is relevant for understanding the behavior of matter and energy under extreme conditions and for studying cosmic phenomena that produce low-frequency electromagnetic radiation.

Cycle per Second
cps
Definition
The Cycle per Second is a unit of frequency equal to one hertz, representing one complete cycle of a periodic phenomenon per second. It is an older unit that was commonly used before the adoption of the hertz as the SI unit of frequency, and it is still used in some contexts where the concept of "cycles" is more intuitive than "hertz."
History/Origin
The cycle per second unit was widely used in early electronics and radio technology before the adoption of the hertz as the SI unit of frequency. It represents the intuitive concept of counting the number of complete cycles of a periodic phenomenon that occur in one second, making it easy to understand and visualize.
Current Use
Still used in some contexts where the concept of "cycles" is more intuitive than "hertz," particularly in audio engineering, electronics, and educational settings. It is equivalent to the hertz but may be preferred in certain applications where the cyclical nature of the phenomenon is emphasized.
