Converting 50 Hz to radians per second gives approximately 314.16 radians/sec.
This happens because 1 Hz equals 2π radians per second, so multiplying 50 Hz by 2π provides the radian measure per second, translating frequency into angular velocity.
Conversion Result and Explanation
50 Hz equals about 314.16 radians/sec. This conversion is useful in physics and engineering when dealing with rotational motions or wave frequencies, translating frequency (cycles per second) into angular displacement (radians per second).

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Hz to radians per second is: radians/sec = Hz × 2π. This formula works because one cycle (Hz) equals 2π radians, representing one full rotation in a circle. Multiplying the frequency by 2π converts cycles into radians. For example, 50 Hz: 50 × 2π = 100π ≈ 314.16 radians/sec, showing how many radians are covered each second at that frequency.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 Hz to rad/sec:
- Multiply 10 by 2π:
- 10 × 2π = 20π ≈ 62.83 radians/sec
- Convert 25 Hz to rad/sec:
- 25 × 2π = 50π ≈ 157.08 radians/sec
- Convert 75 Hz to rad/sec:
- 75 × 2π = 150π ≈ 471.24 radians/sec
- Convert 5 Hz to rad/sec:
- 5 × 2π = 10π ≈ 31.42 radians/sec
- Convert 100 Hz to rad/sec:
- 100 × 2π = 200π ≈ 628.32 radians/sec

Conversion Definitions
Hz
Hz, or Hertz, measures how many complete cycles or oscillations occur per second, representing frequency in wave and signal analysis, rotational speeds, and oscillatory systems, by counting the cycles completed within one second.
Rad
Rad, or radians, is a unit measuring angles based on the ratio of the length of an arc to its radius, with one full circle equaling 2π radians, used in geometry, trigonometry, and describing rotational movements or phase angles.
Conversion FAQs
How does frequency in Hz relate to angular velocity in radians/sec?
Frequency in Hz indicates how many cycles occur each second, while angular velocity in radians/sec describes how fast something rotates in terms of radians per second. The relation is direct: multiply Hz by 2π to get radians/sec.
What is the significance of 2π in converting Hz to radians/sec?
2π represents the number of radians in one full cycle or rotation. Multiplying Hz by 2π converts complete cycles per second into radians per second, providing an angular measure of rotational speed based on frequency.
Can I convert any Hz value to radians/sec using this formula?
Yes, the formula radians/sec = Hz × 2π applies universally to convert frequency in Hz to angular velocity in radians/sec, regardless of the specific value, as long as the context involves rotational or oscillatory motion.
