Microhertz (μHz) Unit Definition
The microhertz is a multiple of the unit hertz (Hz) for frequency. The International System of Units (SI) defines the prefix micro (μ) as a factor of one millionth or 10-6 or 0.000001. Per this definition, one microhertz is 10-6 hertz. The microhertz is represented by the symbol μHz.
