The frequency 200 Hz corresponds approximately to 5 milliseconds per cycle.
This is because frequency (Hz) is the number of cycles per second, and to find the duration of one cycle in milliseconds, we take the reciprocal of the frequency and convert seconds to milliseconds. Specifically, 1 / 200 Hz equals 0.005 seconds, which equals 5 ms.
Conversion Result
200 Hz equals 5 milliseconds.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert hz to ms is based on the relationship that period (ms) equals 1000 divided by the frequency (Hz). This works because frequency indicates how many cycles occur each second, so dividing 1000 milliseconds by the frequency gives the duration of one cycle in milliseconds. For example, for 200 Hz, 1000 / 200 = 5 ms per cycle.
Conversion Example
- Convert 50 Hz:
- Apply formula: 1000 / 50 = 20 ms
- So, each cycle lasts 20 milliseconds.
- This means the wave repeats every 20 ms.
- Convert 500 Hz:
- Apply formula: 1000 / 500 = 2 ms
- The cycle duration here is 2 milliseconds.
- This indicates a higher frequency with shorter cycles.
- Convert 1000 Hz:
- Apply formula: 1000 / 1000 = 1 ms
- Each cycle is just 1 millisecond long.
- This is typical for very high-frequency signals.

Conversion Definitions
Hz
Hz, or hertz, is a measurement of frequency, indicating how many complete cycles or oscillations occur per second of a wave or signal. It is a standard unit in physics and electronics to describe repetitive phenomena.
ms
Milliseconds (ms) measure the duration of one cycle or period of a wave, representing one-thousandth of a second. It describes how long one complete oscillation takes, which inversely correlates with frequency.
Conversion FAQs
Why does increasing Hz decrease the ms value?
Higher Hz means more cycles occur each second, so each cycle must be shorter in duration. Therefore, as Hz increases, the period in milliseconds decreases, showing a faster oscillation.
Can I convert any frequency in Hz to ms using this formula?
Yes, the formula works for any positive frequency value. Just divide 1000 by the frequency in Hz to get the period in milliseconds, regardless of the size of the number.
What happens if I input zero or negative Hz?
Inputting zero or negative Hz produces invalid results because frequency can’t be zero or negative in this context. The calculation would involve division by zero or a negative number, which is meaningless for period calculation.
Is the period always in milliseconds?
In this context, yes, the period calculated is in milliseconds because we divide 1000 milliseconds by the frequency in Hz, converting seconds to milliseconds.
How accurate is the conversion for high frequencies?
The calculation remains accurate across the range of frequencies, but practical measurement tools might have precision limits at very high frequencies. The mathematical conversion, however, stays exact.
