Homework Statement
Consider the following formula
Relevant Equations
## p = k^2/ H^2 ##, where k is a variable of units Hz and H is a constant ## H= 10^{14} ## GeV
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units,

According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##,
## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units.

So is this conversion correct?

Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?

I do not see what those have to do with the rest of your question.

Don’t those imply GeV=##10^{-11}## in natural units?

That link lists six different systems. Which one are you using?

## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##,
So it’s particle and atomic physics, right?

So not ##10^{-11}##?
