The result of converting 100 Hz to radians per second is approximately 628.3 radians.
Since 1 Hz equals 2π radians per second, multiplying 100 Hz by 2π gives the angular velocity in radians. This conversion is straightforward because frequency in Hertz (Hz) measures cycles per second, and radians measure angles. So, multiplying Hz by 2π yields radians per second.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Hz to radians per second multiplies the frequency in Hz by 2π, because one cycle corresponds to an angle of 2π radians. This works since Hz measures cycles per second, and radians measure angles. Mathematically: radians = Hz × 2π.
For example, if you have 50 Hz: 50 × 2π = 50 × 6.2832 = 314.16 radians/sec. This method directly relates frequency to angular velocity, making it easy to switch between units based on cycles or angles.
Conversion Example
- Convert 75 Hz:
- Multiply 75 by 2π: 75 × 6.2832 = 471.24 radians/sec.
- Result: 75 Hz is approximately 471.24 radians/sec.
- Convert 125 Hz:
- Multiply 125 by 2π: 125 × 6.2832 = 785.40 radians/sec.
- Result: 125 Hz translates to about 785.4 radians/sec.
- Convert 10 Hz:
- Multiply 10 by 2π: 10 × 6.2832 = 62.83 radians/sec.
- Result: 10 Hz equals approximately 62.83 radians/sec.

Conversion Definitions
Hz
Hz, or Hertz, measures how many complete cycles or oscillations happen in one second. It quantifies the frequency of periodic events like waves, signals, or vibrations, representing cycles per second in a clear numerical way.
Rad
Rad, short for radians, is a unit of angular measurement. One radian equals the angle created when the arc length equals the radius of a circle. It helps compare angles in relation to the circle’s size, making it essential for many mathematical calculations involving rotation.
Conversion FAQs
How do I interpret radians per second from a frequency in Hz?
To interpret radians per second, multiply the frequency in Hz by 2π. This converts the number of cycles into an angular measure, indicating how many radians are swept out each second. For example, 100 Hz equals about 628.3 radians/sec.
Why is 2π used in the conversion from Hz to radians?
2π is used because one cycle corresponds to an angle of 2π radians. Since Hz counts cycles per second, multiplying by 2π transforms that count into an angular velocity, making it compatible with radian measurements.
Can I convert radians per second back to Hz?
Yes, to convert radians/sec back to Hz, divide the radians value by 2π. This reverses the process, restoring the original frequency in cycles per second. For instance, 628.3 radians/sec divided by 2π equals 100 Hz.
What practical applications use Hz to radians conversion?
This conversion is used in physics and engineering to analyze rotational motion, signal processing, and wave analysis where frequency and angular velocity need to be related, especially in systems involving oscillations, rotations, or vibrations.
