25 microseconds corresponds to a frequency of 40,000 Hz.
This conversion is done by taking the reciprocal of the time period in seconds. Since 25 microseconds is 25 × 10⁻⁶ seconds, dividing 1 by this value gives the frequency in hertz (Hz), which measures cycles per second.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert microseconds (µs) to hertz (Hz) is:
Frequency (Hz) = 1 / (Time in seconds)
Since microseconds are one millionth of a second (1 µs = 10⁻⁶ seconds), first convert microseconds to seconds by multiplying by 10⁻⁶. Then take the reciprocal to find frequency.
For example, converting 25 µs:
- Convert 25 μs to seconds: 25 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.000025 seconds
- Calculate frequency: 1 / 0.000025 = 40,000 Hz
This means a signal with a period of 25 microseconds repeats 40,000 times each second.
Conversion Example
- 50 microseconds:
- Convert 50 µs to seconds: 50 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.00005 s
- Frequency = 1 / 0.00005 = 20,000 Hz
- 10 microseconds:
- Convert 10 µs to seconds: 10 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.00001 s
- Frequency = 1 / 0.00001 = 100,000 Hz
- 100 microseconds:
- 100 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.0001 s
- 1 / 0.0001 = 10,000 Hz
- 5 microseconds:
- 5 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.000005 s
- 1 / 0.000005 = 200,000 Hz
- 1 microsecond:
- 1 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.000001 s
- 1 / 0.000001 = 1,000,000 Hz

Conversion Definitions
Microseconds: A microsecond is a unit of time equal to one millionth (10⁻⁶) of a second. It is used to measure extremely short time intervals, commonly in electronics, signal processing, and computing timing. Microseconds help represent durations too small for milliseconds or seconds.
Hz (Hertz): Hertz is the unit of frequency defined as cycles per second. It shows how many times an event repeats in one second. In physics and engineering, frequency in hertz is used to describe waves, oscillations, or any periodic signals. 1 Hz equals one cycle per second.
Conversion FAQs
Why does frequency increase when microseconds decrease?
Frequency is the reciprocal of the time period. If the time period (in microseconds) becomes smaller, the number of cycles fitting into one second rises. For example, halving the microseconds doubles the frequency because the events happen twice as fast.
Can I use this conversion for any waveform?
The conversion works for periodic signals where the time period is consistent, such as sine waves or clock pulses. For non-periodic or irregular signals, converting microseconds to frequency directly may not yield accurate or meaningful results.
What happens if I input zero microseconds in the tool?
Zero microseconds means an infinitely small time period, which mathematically results in infinite frequency. This is undefined physically and will cause division by zero in calculations, so the tool may show an error or empty output.
Is there a limit to frequency values converted from microseconds?
Theoretically, frequency can be extremely high as microseconds approach zero, but physical systems have limits. Electronic devices and signals cannot achieve infinite frequency, so practical measurements depend on the equipment’s capability and physical laws.
How accurate is the conversion when using decimal microseconds?
Using decimal microseconds in the formula remains accurate, as long as the input is precise. The calculation depends on the exact time period, so more decimal places in microseconds provide a more precise frequency value in hertz.
