Megahertz

A megahertz (MHz) is one million (106) hertz, a measure of frequency. One megahertz simply means "one million per second" (1 000 000 / s). The unit may be applied to any periodic event – for example, old computers might be said to perform calculations at rates expressed in MHz. Radio waves may oscillate at rates expressed as MHz.
