If the wave speed is measured in m/s, the wave length is measured in m, and the wave speed divided by the wave length = the frequency, then:
m/s / m = 1/s
thus the unit of frequency is 1/s or s^-1

What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?
Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter". Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".
What is the measure of how many times an object vibrates per second?
The word for "number of vibrations per second" or "cycles per second" is frequency. Otherwise, you might be looking for the density and bulk modulus of the medium, and the intensity of the energy... which will establish the natural frequency of a system.
What are the basic units that matter is made of?
Atoms. Or another word for atoms would be elements.
A fundamental physical and functional unit of heredity?
Genes are the functional units of heredity.
Why ampere considered as a fundamental unit though it is a derived one?
Because you have to start somewhere - you can't derive ALL units. You have to have SOME fundamental units.For example, 1 ampere = 1 coulomb / second. That also means that 1 coulomb = 1 ampere x 1 second, or that 1 second = 1 coulomb / 1 ampere. In other words, you can derive any of the three units from the other two. In practice, for base units, units were chosen that can be measured with great precision.Another AnswerThe ampere is not a 'fundamental' unit; it is a base unit. The ampere was chosen as a base unit, because it relates electrical units to mechanical units, being defined, as it is, in terms of the force (which itself is defined in terms of base units) between current-carrying conductors.You might be getting confused because, quite wrongly, the ampere is often defined as a 'coulomb per second'. While it is certainly equivalent to a coulomb per second, it is not definedin this way.
What are the basic units of population?

What the si units for frequency?
The SI unit for frequency is Hertz, the number of cycles per second.
What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?
Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter". Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".
Is metric units a compound?
No, it is a basic measurement unit.
What is the basic SI units of length?
The basic unit for length in SI is the meter.
What is the basic unit of all photoshop?
There is no basic unit. Dimensions can be entered as either pixels, or imperial or metric units.
Name the basic unit of life?
If string theory is true, strings. If not sub-atomic particles
How many bytes are in MHz?
A byte is a unit of capacity. A megahertz is a unit of frequency. The two units are incompatible.

Which metric unit is the basic for all the metric units of measurament?
In the International System of Units (SI) there are seven basic units of measurement:kilogram (kg) -- unit of massmeter (m) -- unit of distancesecond (s) -- unit of timeKelvin (K) -- unit of temperatureampere (A) -- unit of electric currentcandela (cd) -- unit of luminous intensitymole (mol) -- unit of amount of substance
Is a covalent bond basic unit called formula unit?
No, the basic unit for a covalent bond is a molecule and for ionic it is formula units.
